This excerpt from Robert Maurer's One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Wayexplains the Kaizen method, a Japanese philosophy emphasizing small, incremental changes to achieve significant results. The book argues that large-scale changes are often unsuccessful due to fear and resistance, while small, manageable steps circumvent these obstacles. Maurer uses various case studies, illustrating how small questions, actions, and rewards can lead to substantial personal and professional improvements. The book also explores the interplay between the brain's emotional and rational centers, showing how Kaizen fosters new neural pathways for lasting change.
