A timeless book of lessons on mentorship, teaching, and learning from New York Times bestselling author Tim Gunn, host of the Emmy Awardânominated Project Runway and the reality show Under the Gunn.
Tim Gunn, Americaâs favorite reality TV cohost, is known for his kind but firm approach in providing wisdom, guidance, and support to the scores of design hopefuls on Project Runway. Having begun his fashion career as a teacher at Parsons The New School for Design, Tim knows more than a thing or two about mentorship and how to convey invaluable pearls of wisdom in an approachable, accessible manner.
While Gunnâs Golden Rules showcased Tim âas life coach,â imparting lessons based on his personal experiences, Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor will focus on Tim âas teacher.â Divided into sections on common themesâtruth-telling, empathy, asking, cheerleading, and hoping for the bestâthis practical, timely book takes us on a journey through life lessons and uses Timâs own personal experiences, from the classroom to the therapistâs office, to illustrate larger concepts.
Says Bette Midler of Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor, âThis book is as smart and fashionable as Tim Gunn himself, and itâs teeming with surprising, moving, and often hilarious stories about teaching, learning, and life. I loved it!â
