Hilaria Baldwin shares her life lessons with the world.
The mother of seven reflects on chapters of her own life experience, including her marriage to Alec Baldwin, through candid vignettes in her new book, Manual not included.
“I hope the reader feels empowered to live her own life, knowing that we all get some things right and some things wrong. It’s about living our best lives and telling our own stories,” Hilaria told PEOPLE exclusively about her publications Gallery of books.
“Being a mom, a partner, and just going through life is amazing, and it can also be so hard! Acknowledging that there is no manual hopefully silences societal judgments, puts everything into perspective, and allows us to realize that we’re more alike than different,” she added.

Hilaria Baldwin and daughter Carmen, 11, are publishing a skin care book Glowing Up — with recipes tested on Alec Baldwin (exclusive)
According to the synopsis, the book details “the ups, downs, and unpredictable outcomes of her different (and not so different) life.” On its pages, it covers topics such as love, relationships, friendship and motherhood.
Hilaria and Alec are parents to daughters Ilaria Catalina Irene, 2, María Lucía Victoria, 3, and Carmen Gabriela, 11, and sons Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 4, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, and Rafael Thomas , 9.
In addition to her mother’s duties, Hilaria is also an expert in wellness and fitness. The yoga instructor is the co-founder of Yoga Vida in New York, where she lives with Alec and their seven children.
“Hilaria writes about the endearing, hard-won insights she’s gained from her experiences as an individual, partner, and parent—from feeling empowered, to having a fulfilling relationship, to being the best mother possible, all while still being a work in progress, each day crafting his own perfectly imperfect manual,” reads the book’s synopsis.
