In 2011, Williams was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease causing pain and fatigue. She openly acknowledges the complexities of living with such a condition that has to be controlled with medications as well as lifestyle changes.
While the diagnosis affected her emotionally and physically, she took it as a challenge to take care of her needs and wants. In her latest book, she explores how the principles outlined in Strive facilitate holistic and scientifically grounded evolution.
Williams also shares insights into her approach to maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle while keeping things fun and engaging. This combination focuses primarily on making self-improvements that are reachable, attainable, and sustainable, guided by the eight principles outlined in the book.
This marks Williams' second venture into book writing, following her 2010 release, Come to Win. The earlier book featured insights, motivation, and inspiration from Venus and 46 other influential figures, offering guidance on personal and professional achievement.
Talking about her new book in a press release, Venus Williams stated:
"As an athlete, I know the perseverance and consistency it takes to accomplish your goals and get true results. With STRIVE, my goal is to share the tips and tricks that helped me in my own personal wellness and nutrition journey."
She further added:
"These are the tools that kept me from burning out on a lifestyle that I wanted and believed in, a lifestyle that helped me feel confident, powerful, and capable."
