About this listen

A gorgeous introduction to the Japanese method of Kaizen – meaning 'change' 'good' – showing you how to make small, step-by-step changes to transform your life.

'This beautiful, simple book suggests tiny changes we can make to improve all areas of life, from friendships to a cluttered flat' – Marianne Power, author of Help Me!

From Marie Kondo to Hygge to Ikigai, in recent years, philosophies to help people live better lives have taken the world by storm. Kaizen will change your habits for good.

This beautiful book offers a way to build good habits and remove bad ones, without being too hard on yourself along the way. The focus is on having patience, shaping solutions for yourself rather than following others and not giving up when things aren’t working. Rather than being critical of your faults, the emphasis is on mindful, positive change. Well-known in the business and sports worlds as a method for mapping incremental goals, Kaizen is also a wonderful tool for slowly improving aspects of your life, without feeling daunted or overwhelmed by the challenge.

Kaizen by Sarah Harvey brings you a personalized and flexible approach to change that you can apply to any area of your life (whether it is health, relationships, money, career, habits, new hobbies or general wellbeing). You can adapt it to suit working style, preferences and personality. Every person’s experience of Kaizen will be different, which is what makes it such an effective tool for positive change.

Critic Reviews

This is perfect for fans of Marie Kondo and lovers of hygge and ikigai. A sure bestseller. (Sue Scholes, The Bookseller)
This beautiful, simple book suggests tiny changes we can make to improve all areas of life, from friendships to a cluttered flat. Unlike a lot of self-improvement guides that make you want to change EVERYTHING NOW! – an approach which inevitably fails – this book is gentle and practical in its advice. Reading it made me feel calmer and at the same time motivated to sort out my cupboards and call my auntie; small tweaks maybe, but these things can make the difference between a good day and a bad one. A really lovely book. (Marianne Power, author of Help Me!)
This wonderful book explains the Japanese art of turning small kizuki (realizations) into improvements. A great kaizen on the subject of kaizen itself, it will help anyone interested in lifelong learning, mental and physical health, career success, and happiness to achieve inner harmony. (Ken Mogi, author of Awakening Your Ikigai)

Kaizen by Sarah Harvey is like that gentle nudge from a friend telling you, “Hey, you’ve got this—just take one small step at a time!” Rooted in the beautiful Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, this book takes you through the magic of steady, meaningful change across every area of life—from your messy desk to your tangled thoughts.
With a warm tone and super relatable real-life stories, Sarah makes big ideas feel totally doable. Discipline, routine, and determination don’t sound scary anymore—they feel like empowering tools to create the life you want.

What’s amazing is that while many see Kaizen as just about decluttering, this book shows how it’s really about gently reworking your habits, relationships, and even your mindset—without the pressure. Think of it as a joyful tune-up for your life!

A Little Step to a Happier Life!
