Personal Development

If you've ever tried to make a change in your life and failed to do it,
I have great news for you.

Simply by understanding and applying a little-known Japanese technique, you can make ANY change and achieve ANY goal you want to, no matter how hard it has been for you in the past. And you can do it with virtually no effort or struggle whatsoever. For instance, you can:

• CONQUER PROCRASTINATION — even if it's a challenge you've struggled to overcome your entire life
  
• ELIMINATE DEBT — even if you've racked up huge charge card bills and can't see a time when you'll ever be able to pay them off
  
• CREATE A MORE BALANCED LIFE — even if you can't see any way to redistribute your time and energy
  
• LOSE WEIGHT — even if you hate dieting and have never been able to stick to a weight-loss program for very long
  
• BECOME RICH — even if you've found it impossible to save money or build up wealth
  
• END BAD HABITS, like smoking or overeating — even if you've tried over and over again without success
  
• START DOING WHAT YOU LOVE — even if you don't know what it is or can't imagine how it could ever become your main job
  
• GET IN SHAPE — even if you have no time to fit an exercise routine into your life, and even less desire to do it

First conceived of thousands of years ago, this potent technique runs contrary to nearly everything you and I have been taught about the processes of achievement and success. Yet the results (some of which I'll tell you about in a minute) are undeniable. This technique works — better and far more easily than anything else I've ever seen.

"...you can sidestep failure to achieve the unthinkable. I'm now tackling some ideas I've long abandoned and am living proof it works. This program is a solid '10'. Don’t miss it!"

I've spent my entire career helping people bring about positive, healthful changes in their lives: as a clinical psychologist, a faculty member at the UCLA and University of Washington medical schools, and behavioral health instructor at the Canyon Ranch Health Spa in Tucson, Arizona.

For years, I toed the usual line with my change-seeking clients. If someone came to me wanting to lose weight or improve his or her health, I encouraged the person to adopt a new diet and a consistent exercise routine. If someone was looking to break out of a career rut, I advised him or her to write out weekly, monthly, annual, and long-range goals, and so on.

But when client after client came back to me frustrated, dejected, and overwhelmed with guilt because they hadn't been able to stick to their plan — and had consequently "failed" to achieve what they had set out to do — I began to question the standard approaches to personal change ... and to look for a different way.

I found the approach I was looking for — an extraordinary Japanese principle known as kaizen.

Kaizen has been a fundamental part of Asian philosophical systems for ages. Like nearly all such principles, it is streamlined, elegant, deceptively simple — and extremely powerful.

When I first found out what kaizen was, I was very skeptical. It was almost impossible to believe that such a system could really produce the kinds of big, far-reaching, long-term results that people were looking for.

Then I started reading the stories.

Stories of companies like Toyota, which became (and remains) one of the most successful car manufacturers in the world as a direct result of incorporating kaizen into its management practices.

Stories of leaders like John Wooden, who systematically applied kaizen techniques throughout his career to become one of the most successful coaches in college basketball history ... and Mother Teresa, for whom kaizen was one of the guiding principles that enabled her to do her great work.

Stories of invention after invention — Velcro, bar codes, baby powder, the instant camera, sandpaper, and so many others — that came about not through grand, dramatic planning or marathon brainstorming sessions, but because of kaizen.

These stories fascinated me, and they got me thinking: Could kaizen empower my clients and patients to make personal changes in the same way?

That question was answered the very first time I tried it.
