Who is really running your life? Is it you or your employer, your government, your friends and relatives, your children or parents, your spouse? Maybe it is your fears and phobias, your lack of self-esteem and assertiveness, your lack of knowledge and experience, your poor ethics or poor memory, your ill health or constant debt? Are you really running your life? This book is a guide for individuals to employ the principles of Kaizen - the famous Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement - in achieving personal success. It provides a step-by-step approach enabling you start right away. This book is about achieving positive, ethical results through constant self-improvement. KAIZEN (pronounced ky'zen) is Japanese for a philosophy of constant improvement. It is about success based on one's inner strength which then expands outwards. That one doesn't have to be an individual; it could be a corporation, an institution or a whole society. Packed with fascinating quotations and insights, this book challenges readers to take control of their lives and take responsibility for constant improvement of their personal and business achievements.
