Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work | Tim Gunn
5 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
On the runway of life, Tim Gunn is the perfect life coach. Youve watched him mentor talented designers on the hit television show Project Runway. Now the inimitable Tim Gunn shares his personal secrets for making it workin your career, relationships, and life. Filled with delightfully dishy stories of fashions greatest divas, behind-the-scenes glimpses of Runways biggest drama queens, and never-before-revealed insights into Tims private life, Gunns Golden Rules is like no other how-to book youve ever read. 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 Tims rules to anything you set your mind to. Youll learn why Tim frowns on displays of bad behavior, like the vitriolic outburst by Martha Stewarts daughter about her mothers name-brand merchandise. Youll discover the downfalls of divadom as he describes Vogues Andr Leon Talley being hand-fed grapes and Anna Wintour being carried downstairs by her bodyguards. And youll get Tims view on the backstabbing by one designer on Project Runway and how it brilliantly backfired. Then there are his down-to-earth guidelines for making life betterfor yourself and othersin 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 Tims 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 success much like Tim himself! He is never one to mince words. But Tim Gunn is always warm, witty, wise, and wonderfully supportive just the mentor you need to design a happy, creative, and fulfilling life that will never go out of style.

Made my board for #bookspinbingo. Hopefully I do better this month than September. I didn‘t plan for library holds. Fixed that problem this month.

Tim Gunn books are the 💣 for getting me out of a reading slump! This one is a little more gossipy than The Natty Professor, but each “tell” leads to a life lesson. He also dishes up some of his own learning opportunities. I like that he is straight forward, but not mean spirited. I‘m not into fashion, but really liked the Project Runway series (mostly because of TG❤️) 3/5🍎s

Hooked_on_books Love Tim Gunn! 💕 4y

#augustphotochallenge day 14. My #uniquefact is that I can be handy! In addition to tiling the floor of a half bath, I built this built-in window seat in my library using pre-fab cabinets. I also made the bench cushion. I love how it looks and it finished the room nicely into a very cozy space. I followed instructions for this online and made it work, as Tim Gunn would say. 👍🏼
