One Small Step Can Change Your Life

 One Small Step Can Change Your Lifeby Robert Maurer, Ph.D 

"The philosophy is simple: Great change is made through small steps. The techniques, easy, yet all-encompassing: ask small questions; think small thoughts; take small actions; solve small problems. The science, irrefutable: small steps circumvent the brain's built-in resistance to new behavior. The goal: change your life without fear, without failure. The result: amazing".

I recommend this book because this approach to change actually works.  These techniques have helped me and my coaching clients make noticeable improvements.  What I found fascinating is the story behind this strategy that has been around since the 1940s.  Dr. Deming, a statistician, who worked on a quliaty control team was instrumental in assisting American manufacturers as they tried to improve during World War II.  It was based on the idea that everyone could offer ideas in suggestion boxes that were postioned on factory floors.  These little steps added to the brilliant acceleration of America's manufacturing capcity which ulitmatley helped the Allies win the war!  The Japanese now call this Kaizen, small steps for continual improvement.   This book is extremely practical and shares simple ways you can use these ideas at work and at home with instant success.
