Editorial Review:
Heidi Klum is one of the most famous supermodels in the world, but it took more than beauty to get there. 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, Heidi shares the secrets behind her success and shows how anyone can achieve their goals in work, love, and life:
1. You Have to Want It, Baby. Pursue success long after any sane person would have given up.
2. Sell It! Convince others you have the chops to get what you want.
3. Put Your Best Face Forward. Make others see you as you want to be seen.
4. Make a Fashion Statement. Find your own unique style.
5. Shape It, Be It. Create a strong, healthy body.
6. Become the Fantasy. Tap into your seductive side.
7. Be a Jet-Setter. Broaden your horizons by traveling the world.
8. Have a Blast While It Lasts. None of the other seven rules means anything if you’re not having fun while you’re following them.
This informative read 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 tons of 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.
Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge: 8 Rules of Model Behavior (to Help You Take Off on the Runway of Life) Reviews:
Great read 
2009-10-26 - Heidi may be a Supermodel but we could also call her a Wisdom-model. Such a positive approach on life that is interpreted throughout this book. Lots of super cool tips and life experience stories. A great read.
A MOTIVATIONAL MUST-READ FOR ALL
2008-12-04 - This book is AWESOME AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.
It's a simple read, but is very inspiring!
I don't understand why some people thought it is a book on how to be a model, or how Heidi became a model, when the cover clearly reads "8 RULES OF MODEL BEHAVIOR (To Help You Take Off on the Runway of Life)". "The RUNWAY OF LIFE"--hello!!!. This book is full of advice on living your LIFE, enjoying every moment, having fun with everything you do, no matter what profession you may have.
I honestly return or sell a lot of books I buy (because they don't leave a lasting impression on me), but this one is definitely a KEEPER!
It's definitely worth the $18!!!
Loved It!
2007-06-17 - I was at a low point in my life and this book helped me gain a lighter perspective on my situation. You can find inspiration in all sorts of things and don't have to be heavy and serious. I loved the book and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Like a Magazine 
2005-10-11 - This book is easy to read and is very visual much like a magazine, hence the cover art. It is packed with photographs from Heidi's long career. The layout is done in short segments so that it seems like a magazine filled with stories. There are several how-to lists like one that records what members of the opposite sex should know about each other.
This book is a fun, female oriented account from a popular super model. Men will like the book for the many photographs, many of them semi-nude. It includes a bit of a biography telling how Klum got into modeling and information about her family. However, like a magazine, this book is nothing outstanding. The information is grazed over and the many how-to articles do not really add much. The opinions held are often those that can be found in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan.
This is only a book, it's Heidi's photo album..!!
2005-04-17 - ...I personally like Heidi's first book, although it's generally for women reader, but, as Heidi's fans (supporter), I really love this book, which includes many of her favorite pictures and her feeling of life. If you want to understand a Supermodel's Mind, you won't regret with this one..!!
