Beschreibung

<p><b>"You need to read this book." -Adam Grant, #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author<br><br>"A great book changes the world you live in, revealing mysteries you didn't even know were there. This is a great book." -Sendhil Mullainathan, MacArthur fellow and author of <i>Scarcity</i><br><br>Blending behavioral science and design, Leidy Klotz's <i>Subtract</i> offers a scientific appreciation of why we underuse subtraction-and how to access its untapped potential.</b><br><br>We pile on "to-dos" but don't consider "stop-doings." We create incentives for good behavior, but don't get rid of obstacles to it. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don't prune the outdated ones. Every day, across challenges big and small, we neglect a basic way to make things better: we don't subtract. Klotz's pioneering research shows us what is true whether we're building Lego models, cities, grilled-cheese sandwiches, or strategic plans: Our minds tend to add before taking away, and this is holding us back.<br><br>But we have a choice-our blind spot need not go on taking its toll. <i>Subtract</i> arms us with the science of less and empowers us to revolutionize our day-to-day lives and shift how we move through the world. More or less.</p>
