Now, she is considered as the most successful female in the history of women’s boxing.

NEW BOOK

Reach! Finding Strength, Spirit and Personal Power

Combining a gripping personal story with practical advice on such subjects as diet, training, family, romance, and much more, Laila Ali shows readers of all ages and backgrounds how to transform the demons of self-doubt and stagnation into positive, winning energy. In fifteen straight-talking, hard-hitting “rounds,” Laila offers her dynamic formula for physical, emotional, and mental power, demonstrating how to sidestep feelings of self-pity and defeatism.Born with a proverbial silver spoon in her mouth, Laila never felt comfortable as a child. In her parents’ mansion – surrounded by maids, celebrity visitors, and hangers-on – she longed for a “normal” existence. As an adolescent, she became increasingly drawn into negative behavior. But after she found herself, at age sixteen, in juvenile hall, Laila realized it was time to make a change in her life. She resolved to become a responsible, financially independent adult, and soon achieved her long-time dream of owning her own manicure business. Ultimately, however, she would find success in another arena: professional boxing.
