Learnings

In Learnings , learn in depth about one of the most respected Brazilian women of the century. Gisele Bündchen's life and career are told in detail in this revealing bestseller through photos, stories, and insights into one of the world's greatest models.

Gisele Bündchen's journey began in Rio Grande do Sul, in a house with five sisters, playing volleyball and rescuing stray dogs and cats. At that time, Gisele's dream career was far from the catwalk and closer to the volleyball court. But at age 14, on a trip to São Paulo, fate intervened and put a scout in her path.

Four years later, in 1998, her participation in Alexander McQueen's memorable London show—under artificial rain—launched her spectacular modeling career and marked the end of fashion's heroin chic era. Since then, she has graced nearly 450 advertising campaigns and more than 1,200 magazine covers, and walked in around 500 shows for the world's most influential brands. Gisele has become an icon, leaving a lasting mark on the fashion industry.

However, to date, few people have had the opportunity to meet the real Gisele, a woman whose private life is the polar opposite of her public image. In "Lessons," she reveals for the first time who she truly is and what lessons, throughout her journey, have helped her live a more meaningful life. A journey from her barefoot childhood in Horizontina to her international career, motherhood, and marriage to Tom Brady.

"In this book, I share some lessons that have helped me lead a more conscious and joyful life, that have inspired me to overcome every challenge I've faced over the years, and that have brought me a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. I hope they help you too," says Gisele.

A work that demonstrates great sincerity and vulnerability, Learnings reveals the intimate life of an extremely public woman.
