One Small Step Can Change Your Life

22 Jul 2025

Description

From "One Small Step Can Change Your Life" by Robert Maurer, Ph.D., introduces the concept of "kaizen," a Japanese philosophy of continuous, small improvements, as an alternative to radical change. The text explains how fear often hinders large-scale attempts at personal or professional transformation, detailing how the brain's "fight-or-flight" response can suppress creativity. Maurer advocates for the gentle, non-threatening approach of kaizen, illustrating its application through small questions, small thoughts (mind sculpture), small actions, small rewards, and identifying small moments to overcome resistance and build lasting positive habits.
