ONE SMALL STEP CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

This collection of talks, workshops, and inspirational speeches reveals how Maurer's approach--taking small steps to create long-term change--applies to our personal and professional lives. Turning the Japanese word for "good change" into a verb, Maurer invites listeners to "kaizen" their health and finances. Maurer's point is compelling and his research extensive, with lots of studies illustrating how small steps lead to large changes. Though a speaker by profession, Maurer sometimes sounds like he's rushing. The uneven quality of this production is disappointing in places; its clicks, crackles, and uneven volume bear witness to its pieced-together nature. But these are minor irritations, easily ignored as listeners absorb Maurer's simple--yet profound--message. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
