Lifestyle changes can be overwhelming: It’s hard to take on major goals without falling prey to self-doubt. But with kaizen, big goals become small, approachable steps. This Japanese method first made waves in the business world by launching Toyota to success; it also adds magic to Marie Kondo’s life-changing method of tidying up. As Kondo puts it: “You can take the first small step toward your dream today, and keep taking small steps to grow your passions.” Now, Sarah Harvey unlocks kaizen’s amazing potential to enhance our everyday lives.

Unlike quick-fix programs or demanding routines, Kaizen invites you to slow down, take one small step, and repeat it with patience. The steps are so small they may seem invisible—eating until you are eighty percent full, straightening your shoes at the doorway, writing a single sentence in a journal, walking one block each day. Yet when practiced consistently, these small changes accumulate into lasting health, meaningful relationships, creative breakthroughs, and inner calm.

From a European-Western perspective, much of what is related to the state of Japan, including its history and culture and the people who live there, seems not only foreign, but also in some ways inaccessible and incomprehensible.
