While most people say the key to success is a willingness to break the rules, to think outside the box, to ignore boundaries, Robin Roberts whose own spectacular success as a college basketball star, ESPN commentator, and co-anchor on Good Morning America is undisputed -- is here to tell listeners something different. In her considerable experience, there are seven rules whose importance cannot be ignored. In the tradition of bestsellers like Maria Shriver's And One More Thing Before You Go, Anna Quindlen's A Short Guide to a Happy Life, and Marlo Thomas' The Right Words at the Right Time, FROM THE HEART is the perfect gift for new grads, and an inspiring read for anyone searching for the path to success.

...
From her hardscrabble TV career and college basketball experience, the former ESPN commentator knows the pressure of competition. Sounding like an underdog who's worked against difficult obstacles on her way to the top, she's compiled seven rules: position yourself to take the shot; dream big but focus small; if at first you don't succeed, dive back in; never play the race, gender, or any other card; venture outside your comfort zone; focus on the solution, not the problem; and keep faith, family, and friends close to your heart. Illustrating her lessons with stories from her family and professional life, she is a convincing and sincere speaker, a wholesome role model for any young woman who feels disadvantaged or experiences discrimination.
