Throughout her multi-faceted career, Venus Williams has earned four Olympic gold medals, 21 Grand Slam titles, and built two companies. Along with her sister, Venus became the first female African American minority owner of an NFL team, Miami Dolphins. All her successes are tied to one simple promise to herself: make everything in life easy, enjoyable - but most of all - exciting.

In 2011, Venus was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease which causes uncomfortable symptoms such as dry eyes and mouth, achiness and fatigue. But the diagnosis did not hold her back - in fact, she grew wiser and stronger. Venus has always believed that it shouldn't be hard to be healthy, which is why in STRIVE, she introduces readers to the strategy that has allowed her to reach any goal she has ever set for herself much faster with less effort or stress. She delivers an innovative approach that asks readers to simply consider eight tiny but essential tenets: Observe, Appreciate, Balance, Enrich, Soothe, Believe, Inspire, and Strive.

By staying true to these eight tenets - even if just for a few minutes a day - the immediate and long-term health and wellness goals you have for yourself fall into place, quickly transforming smart, healthy choices into life-long habits. Through STRIVE, you'll finally forge a lifestyle you'll always return to because you 'want' to - not because you have to - and that's when you start winning.
