The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

The kaizen way to change your life.
Discover the potent force of kaizen... and use it to easily, effortlessly achieve any goal or make any change you want to!
We've been programmed to believe that change is a "battle" - something hard fought and hard won, something that demands struggle and sacrifice. But as anyone who uses the technique known as kaizen can tell you, nothing could be further from the truth. With kaizen, it's effortless, simple, and inevitable to change your life.
In One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way to Success, author, psychologist, and world-renowned kaizen expert Dr. Robert Maurer introduces you to this simple yet extremely powerful transformation technique and gives you a step-by-step system for using it to achieve big and small changes in your life, with a speed and ease that will astonish you. In this exciting mix of studio and live recordings, Dr. Maurer will teach you how to:
- Conquer procrastination - even if it's a challenge you've struggled to overcome your entire life.
- Eliminate debt - even if you've racked up huge credit card bills and can't see a time when you'll ever be able to pay them off.
- Create a more balanced life - even if you can't see any way to redistribute your time and energy.
- Lose weight - even if you hate dieting and have never been able to stick to a weight loss program for very long.
- Build wealth - even if you've found it impossible to save money or create wealth up until now.
- End bad habits - like smoking or overeating, even if you've tried over and over again without success.
- Start doing what you love - even if you don't know what it is or can't imagine how it could ever become your main job.
- And so much more!

In How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever - an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie (pronounced itchy-GO itchy-A). Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or "ceremony of attention", whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

disappointed in this audio -
First of all I want to say I love Robert Maurer's work - very much so...
What disappoints me is I believed that this would be a reading of the actual book - which currently happens to be one of my favorites. Instead of actually reading it a third time I wanted to be able to listen to it while I was doing other things. Don't get me wrong - the information is very valuable, but I heard much of this in videos I have watched of his. So if you are expecting the book version this is not it. I do hope someday that there is...

Take tiny steps
Start each day with the question "What small step can I take today to make an improvement in the quality of my life?" It can be as trivial as walking up and down a few steps, flossing a tooth, reading one page of a book, spending five minutes to clean an area of the house, saving a dollar, or going to bed five minutes earlier. It is better to spend two minutes every day on improving something than trying to motivate yourself to spend 30 minutes a week for a bigger goal. These small, trivial steps do not trigger fear as would a major goal - fear of failure or change. When you become accustomed to that one tiny step every day, you can increase it a little more.
The one bad thing about the audio book is that it's a combination of studio recording and the recording of a workshop, which included the author lecturing and participants answering questions. There are probably also moments when the author is writing on a whiteboard (because you can hear the squeaking of a marker). This diminishes the quality of the audio book.

Botched editing or a bug ruined the experience
I liked this book a lot. Until I got to chapter 7, and it was about to describe the 4 key skills of success in all areas of life. Then, it inexplicably replayed a prior chapter about stress. There was no rating for editing quality, so I had to rate the performance low, even though the speaker was pretty good (though a little wooden when rattling off some of the stories)

NOT either an audio book or very good
If you are expecting the audiobook version of the Kindle or paperback versions of this title, don't buy this. It's not the audio version of the book. It's a collection of bits of speeches, at varying volumes of Dr. Maurer talking (sometimes to groups). His definition of "innovation" is eccentric and he uses "examples" to make whatever point he's trying to make at the time. Since most large changes in business come about through several steps, he accents the small steps when saying something is an example of kaizen and the overall, big improvement when he calls it "innovation," which he defines as "making change in big steps." I think this was a complete waste of my money.

Very Helpful
I found the technique of kaizen to be very helpful. I found many of the concepts and studies new to me. Especially the concept that opportunities can also cause fight or flight and the concept of not waking up your amygdala by keeping tasks small. There is repetition because the audio intersperses portions of live presentations along with the reading of the book, but this did not bother me.

Small steps make big difference over time
Was filled with lots of good information on how to approach changing behaviors. Had some great and inspiring examples all throughout.

A must listen for anyone seriros about self-master
this was a great book. it offers a lot of practical advice on how to make small changes to improve your self mastery. It's a highly practical book. You can also hear quite a bit of Tony Robbins teachings in this book. definitely check out the audible version because it's a little bit different than the Kindle version. I think the main difference is that the audible version features in-person seminars that the author delivered at the Canyon Ranch Spa

Kaizen, good micro change applied to personal life
Excellent! lots of good tools, great examples, and good exercises for you to do . Ratchets you down from big change to seconds or minutes initially, in some cases just thinking about change.
With enough references to studies and science that show that those kinds of changes are more sustainable and successful in the long run.
Taped lectures from the Canyon Ranch so sometimes repetitive but it didn't matter was still good. The repetition probably helped it sink in better for me.

Not credit worthy
Some good concepts and info but is a collection of live talks where things are repeated. And he is pointing at things we can’t see.
