"Some of it is psychological, and some of it is just their overwhelmed lifestyles ， " he says. "They don't have the time to go to the gym and do all those other things we know are good for them. So kaizen seemed a logical thing to experiment with."
他说：“其中有一些是涉及心理学的，有一些只是他们片面的生活方式。他们没有时间去健身房，没有时间做那些对他们有益的事情。所以就这些方面来说kaizen看起来非常合理。 ”
