Kaizen: The Japanese Method for Transforming Habits, One Small Step at a Time Hardcover – International Edition, September 19, 2019

This excellent book is a joy to read and gives great insight to the practice of Kaizen for individuals, not just businesses as most of the other books do. Ms. Harvey is a superb writer. Thanks so much!

4.5 I need help in the art of getting it done. I have big plans, start off strong then drift away before hitting that finish line. I've read many books, tried many methods some worked none kept me motivated very long.This book is different from the others. It is the Japanese Method of getting it done. Taking small steps, easily achievable ones, 1% changes, set goals, short term to long term, move towards them. You just keep adjusting the little steps towards your goals. Keep a journal, write it down, see your steps moving you forward. This sounds like many other motivational books but the way it feels is much different. These miniscule steps don't cause stress or excessive commitment, just a minimum of effort There is empathy in this guide, a kindness and gentleness not found in many motivational programs. I felt like I can do this, it is attainable.The book goes into the history of this technique and some Japanese culture history. It got well known from Toyota using it with success , it can also be used average people in all areas of our lives, relationships, business, school, diet, exercise, etc.. I started making little bitty changes in a few areas of my life and didn’t even set out too. It sticks in a good way. Excellent clearly written, fun little self help read.I received a copy of this from the publisher for an honest review

The book was used and front and back cover had black colour marks.

It feels like the author went through youtube and looked up self help ideas and similiar searches a few weeks and wrote the key points down. That IS this book. Get lots of fresh air. Dont check your email every 10 minuites. Drink plenty of water. Eat garlic and onions and lots of various nuts and vegetables etc etc etc. All useful but not much Kaizen about it. After reading the inly thing I learned about Kaizen is the title ... Small steps to big goals. This is also in many of self help title over and over again as well. Wish I could return this. I will never get 11 bucks back from it.
