Heidi Klum is one of the most famous supermodels in the world, but it took a lot more than above-average looks to get there. Growing up in a small town in Germany certainly didn’t prepare her for superstardom. After winning a national modeling contest she had entered on a lark, Heidi spent the next two years trying to catch a break in a business dominated by skinny waifs and big egos. Ignoring the skeptics and naysayers, at nineteen, she hopped a plane to the United States, where she tirelessly (and always optimistically) posed, strutted, networked, and laughed her way to the top.
Heidi learned a lot on the road to becoming a cultural icon—and fortunately she took notes along the way. In this funny, dishy, and highly practical book, she shares the secrets behind her success and shows how anyone can achieve their goals in work, love, and life:

• Pursue success long after any sane person would have given up
• Persuade others you have the chops to do whatever it is you’re going for
• Make people see you as you want to be seen
• Find your own unique style
• Create a strong, healthy body
• Tap into your seductive side
• Broaden your horizons by traveling the world
• Have a blast while it lasts

This informative romp is full of gorgeous photos from the top professional photographers in the fashion industry, personal pictures from Heidi’s own scrapbooks, behind-the-scenes stories about the modeling world, and helpful hints for achieving success. With her refreshing candor and effervescent style, Heidi offers dead-on advice that will resonate with anyone who has ever wanted more out of life.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

For this self-help book covering everything from health to work to sex, the supermodel best known as the face of Victoria’s Secret attempts to advise readers about their lives by explaining how she handled tricky situations in her own life. But Klum’s experiences, which range from watching the U.S. Open with Donald Trump to chatting awkwardly with Prince backstage at the Tonight Show, will be difficult for the average person to relate to. The basis for Klum’s "rules," such as "You Have to Want It, Baby (Desire)," "Be a Jet-Setter (Travel)" and "Make a Fashion Statement (Statement)," are certainly admirable. But Klum doesn’t explicate them nearly as much as she writes about her own life, making this book feel more like an authorized biography. Several celebrities Klum counts as friends provide interesting sidebars: Harvey Weinstein on how to break into the entertainment business, Michael J. Fox on how to find humor in any situation, etc. Klum’s fans will want the book for its photos alone, which include the infamous snapshot of her biting Evander Holyfield’s ear and a 43-page portfolio of her personal favorites. There are more practical self-help books on the shelves, but none have such beautiful photos and as many pages of fodder for celebrity enthusiasts.

I bought this book as a vacation read and placed the order 1 month in advance...It took a month to get the book delivered to my door (which I didn't expect would be so loong) and luckily I got it a day before my departure for vacation. I'm happy my original plan wasn't ruined but it came close. I wish I was notified of the delivery time when I was placing the order. Otherwise the book is great and in excellent condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2005
For anyone who rates this book low because the book in your opinion focuses on superficiality and lack of substance... in a way you're right. But what exactly were you expecting from a book written by a supermodel? Modeling is a field based on physical attractiveness, presence, performance, and personality in front of a camera and only a few do it very well. But, it is not brain surgery nor is it biochemical engineering. Of course the book is going to have pictures of Heidi and friends scantily clad posing in impossible positions in heavenly environments. That's what models do. It's their job to look incredibly sexy wearing little or no clothing on a perfect beach that only a few ever visit.

Could Heidi have written more about how she became a model, her struggles, her sacrifices? Sure, but quite frankly that's boring. Go to modeling school if you want that info. The whole idea of the book is to share with the reader how to be successful and happy in all areas of life. Happiness to Heidi is a choice that we can all make. Her theme seems to be to keep it simple and to enjoy the little things. Good. In my opinion, this book deserves four-and-a-half stars. The language flows in a simple, easy-to-read pattern and it clearly states her eight rules. Oh, and by the way, the pictures are flat out fantastic! She jumps off the page at you, inviting you into her world. She has a body that maybe 0.05% of the population has, so why not show it off? Michaelangelo could hardly have sculpted a more gorgeous body. If I had to look at her every day, I would succeed in life too. Check out this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Written Like a Business Management Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2005
Ms. Klum is one of the elite supermodels in the world. Beautiful, shapely, and it turns out driven for success. She left Germany at nineteen for the United States with the intent of making it as a model. She learned to watch others, learning what she could from their mistakes and victories. During this time she developed a few ‘rules of model behavior. ’ Later it occurred to her that since these rules had helped her reach her level of success that it would also be helpful to any woman who really wants to go for it in her own life, in any arena.

And why not? The business sections of any book store are filled with books for men on how to achieve success in their lives. Why shouldn't there be the equivalent books for women that are oriented to female success. And if you look at it, the things she says are not all that different. For instance the first rule is You Have to Want it, Baby - This chapter is sub-titled Desire, and a chapter named Desire would not be out of place in the business section. The other chapters likewise have a close analogy to the male business books, but are definitely written from a young women's viewpoint.

The resulting book is a mixture of wisdom a la Heidi, liberally illustrated with photographs of Ms. Klum on various modeling assignments.
