Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way to say 'self-improvement' in English.

Anthony Robbins coined the word CANI, which is short for "Constant And Never-ending Improvement".

Some might find it useful. Me, I can't take it seriously because it's too close to the Finnish word "kani", meaning "bunny" (as in the animal).

Compare with the mildly archaic English word "coney", also meaning rabbit.
