This document discusses the concept of Kaizen, which is a Japanese philosophy of continuous small improvements and incremental changes. Some key points covered include: - Kaizen focuses on making small, continuous improvements rather than large, disruptive changes. It believes small, incremental steps can lead to large gains over time. - Various techniques are presented for implementing Kaizen principles, such as asking small questions, thinking small thoughts, taking small actions, solving small problems, bestowing small rewards, and identifying small moments. - When applied to one's life, Kaizen is seen as a way to continuously improve oneself and find possibilities in each moment, rather than just a tool for achieving goals.
