About this listen
The magic of kaizen - the Japanese method of taking small steps to accomplish huge goals - is now here for everyone....
Experience the magic of kaizen - the Japanese way to create lasting change....
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. Even the boldest intention (I should run a marathon someday) begins with the simplest step (Today, I’ll research local running groups). Kaizen is the key to improving our health, work, finances, relationships, habits, and - yes - homes!

Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them.

You were created to be filled with joy, peace, confidence, and creativity. But it's easy to go through life holding on to things that weigh you down - guilt, resentment, doubt, worry. When you give space to these negative emotions, they take up space that you need for the good things that move you toward your destiny. How much room are you giving to shame, to regret, to being against yourself? Whatever it is, it's too much. Life is too short for you to live bitter and discouraged, letting your circumstances hold you back.

Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

Great beginner book for those new to the mindset of improvement
Lots of great ideas and suggestions for taking small steps to improve your life. There is a lot of material focused on your personal life, so don’t assume it’s a business or technical book on improvement methods. I plan to recommend it to friends and family.

Like listening to an Ai Generated Outline
This book was like listening to an AI generated outline on the uses of Kaizen. Very rudimentary … not a great read/ listen.

Biased
As a self help book it felt rather uninformed on most of the topics discussed. There are large assumptions about the audience that make it clear the author is disconnected from the fact that people from all walks of life could benefit from Kaizen. Some of her recommendations especially when it comes to health and food are debatable. However, I did think that the narrator did a good job and that the information was conveyed in a good way. Overall, I gave two stars because of the bias shining through the prose and subject matter.
