4 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
A timeless book of lessons on mentorship, teaching, and learning from New York Times bestselling author Tim Gunn, host of the Emmy Awardnominated Project Runway and the reality show Under the Gunn. Tim Gunn, Americas 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 Gunns Golden Rules showcased Tim as life coach, imparting lessons based on his personal experiences, Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor will focus on Tim as teacher. Divided into sections on common themestruth-telling, empathy, asking, cheerleading, and hoping for the bestthis practical, timely book takes us on a journey through life lessons and uses Tims own personal experiences, from the classroom to the therapists office, to illustrate larger concepts. Says Bette Midler of Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor, This book is as smart and fashionable as Tim Gunn himself, and its teeming with surprising, moving, and often hilarious stories about teaching, learning, and life. I loved it! So grab a pencil and start taking notes: class is officially in session!

@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag @sharread I haven‘t been on #Litsy much lately.
1) The tagged book was full of good advice in small doses (chapters).
(2) I usually ask for recommendations for my soon-to-be 7-year-old grandson. And just browse posts by other Littens for myself.

Tagging anyone who hasn‘t already been tagged. 🌹

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 👍💜🤩📚 4y

I knit and pulled weeds to Tim Gunn, I believe he would say “make it work” so I will! Lol

I was looking for some fluff because I couldn‘t focus enough to follow a plot. This is fun, has very short chapters, easy to listen to, and it‘s NOT fluff. It‘s grounding & uplifting! I‘ve been a Tim Gunn fan since Project Runway started. He talks about his experiences as a teacher, but the lessons translate to real life. He‘s a master of constructive criticism, and never cruel. I‘m giving a very rare 4⭐️s, and plan to purchase a hard copy.

Hoopiefoot Oooh—I‘m happy to see this. I just picked this audiobook up on Hoopla! 5y
