Gisele Bündchen had a bold story in ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.’ She spoke about a family dinnertime story that helped her craft herself. She wrote, “When I was growing up in Horizontina, there were six of us girls at the dinner table, six voices rising up to talk or laugh or disagree at once.

They had to learn how to bargain, concur, and fight reasonably. But Gisele never felt she was falling behind, stating that she “had the best childhood to the world!”
