One Small Step Can Change Your Life : The Kaizen Way

Discover the transformative power of Kaizen with "One Small Step," a practical and inspirational guide that brings the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching into the modern world. Rooted in the timeless adage, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," Kaizen is the art of achieving profound and enduring change through small, consistent increments. Unlike the sprint of the hare, Kaizen is the methodical progress of the tortoise. It's the approach that propelled eleven Fortune 500 companies to outperform the market through gradual, step-by-step actions.

"One Small Step" starts by addressing the pivotal role fear plays in any transformative journey and explores how Kaizen skillfully circumvents it. Dr. Maurer introduces the 7 Small Steps, guiding readers on how to cultivate small thoughts, take modest actions, solve minor problems, and more. He delves into the concept of mind sculpture, teaching the art of visualizing virtual change to facilitate genuine, lasting transformation.

Throughout the book, Dr. Maurer illustrates the impact of Kaizen with numerous real-world examples and shares wisdom from notable figures like W. Edwards Deming, who introduced Kaizen to Japanese industry, Peter Drucker, coach John Wooden, and others.
