Western motivation vs Japanese Kaizen — which actually works?
In this video, we break down the real difference between the Western “go big or go home” approach and the Japanese Kaizen method — the science-backed practice of making tiny, consistent improvements that compound over time.
Most people think they need motivation, willpower, or massive action to change their life.
