Tim Gunn · the Natty Professor · A Master Class on Mentoring, Motivating, and Making It Work!

A timeless book of lessons on mentorship, teaching, and learning from *New York Times* bestselling author Tim Gunn, host of the Emmy Award–nominated *Project Runway* and the reality show *Under the Gunn*.

Tim Gunn, America’s 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 *Gunn’s 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 themes—truth-telling, empathy, asking, cheerleading, and hoping for the best—this practical, timely book takes us on a journey through life lessons and uses Tim’s own personal experiences, from the classroom to the therapist’s 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 it’s teeming with surprising, moving, and often hilarious stories about teaching, learning, and life. I loved it!”
