Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work

Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work

On the runway of life, Tim Gunn is the perfect life coach.

Â

Youâ€™ve watched him mentor talented designers on the hit television show Project Runway. Now the inimitable Tim Gunn shares his personal secrets for â€œmaking it workâ€â€”in your career, relationships, and life. Filled with delightfully dishy stories of fashionâ€™s greatest divas, behind-the-scenes glimpses of Runwayâ€™s biggest drama queens, and never-before-revealed insights into Timâ€™s private life, Gunnâ€™s Golden Rules is like no other how-to book youâ€™ve ever read.

Â

In the world according to Tim, there are no shortcuts to success. Hard work, creativity, and skill are just the beginning. By following eighteen tried-and-true principles, you can apply Timâ€™s rules to anything you set your mind to. Youâ€™ll learn why Tim frowns on displays of bad behavior, like the vitriolic outburst by Martha Stewartâ€™s daughter about her motherâ€™s name-brand merchandise. Youâ€™ll discover the downfalls of divadom as he describes Vogueâ€™s AndrÃ© Leon Talley being hand-fed grapes and Anna Wintour being carried downstairs by her bodyguards. And youâ€™ll get Timâ€™s view on the backstabbing by one designer on Project Runway and how it brilliantly backfired.

Â

Then there are his down-to-earth guidelines for making life betterâ€”for yourself and othersâ€”in small and large ways, especially in an age that favors comfort over politeness, ease over style. Texting at the dinner table? Wearing shorts to the theater? Not in Timâ€™s book. Living a well-mannered life of integrity and character is hard work, he admits, but the rewards are many: being a good friend, being glamorous and attractive, and being a successâ€” much like Tim himself!

Â

He is never one to mince words. But Tim Gunn is always warm, witty, wise, and wonderfully supportiveâ€” just the mentor you need to design a happy, creative, and fulfilling life that will never go out of style.
