About this listen

A gorgeous introduction to the Japanese method of Kaizen – meaning 'change' 'good' – showing you how to make small, step-by-step changes to transform your life.

'This beautiful, simple book suggests tiny changes we can make to improve all areas of life, from friendships to a cluttered flat' – Marianne Power, author of Help Me!

From Marie Kondo to Hygge to Ikigai, in recent years, philosophies to help people live better lives have taken the world by storm. Kaizen will change your habits for good.

This beautiful book offers a way to build good habits and remove bad ones, without being too hard on yourself along the way. The focus is on having patience, shaping solutions for yourself rather than following others and not giving up when things aren’t working. Rather than being critical of your faults, the emphasis is on mindful, positive change. Well-known in the business and sports worlds as a method for mapping incremental goals, Kaizen is also a wonderful tool for slowly improving aspects of your life, without feeling daunted or overwhelmed by the challenge.

Kaizen by Sarah Harvey brings you a personalized and flexible approach to change that you can apply to any area of your life (whether it is health, relationships, money, career, habits, new hobbies or general wellbeing). You can adapt it to suit working style, preferences and personality. Every person’s experience of Kaizen will be different, which is what makes it such an effective tool for positive change.

Critic Reviews

This is perfect for fans of Marie Kondo and lovers of hygge and ikigai. A sure bestseller. (Sue Scholes, The Bookseller)
This wonderful book explains the Japanese art of turning small kizuki (realizations) into improvements. A great kaizen on the subject of kaizen itself, it will help anyone interested in lifelong learning, mental and physical health, career success, and happiness to achieve inner harmony. (Ken Mogi, author of Awakening Your Ikigai)

Good Book if you have not read any book

It would be better to repeat a good book like Atomic Habits and Eat that Frog than investing my time on this. It didn't add much value to me.

Nothing New

If you are first timer with Kaizen. This is a gold book. If you know about Kaizen. This book doesn’t offer you anything new. For me it it did not add any value

Misleading title

less about Kaizen and more about Japanese culture.
Will be better title as lifestyle in Japan.
Gives all kind of weird advice like making own cloth, learn musical instrument. Few people looking for self improvement methods have so much free time to learn about new culture or unuseful skills
