We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don't prune the outdated ones.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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut we have a choice--our blind spot need not go on taking its toll. \u003ci\u003eSubtract\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leidy Klotz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250249872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250249876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flatiron Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Leidy Klotz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051498533119,"sku":"9781250249876","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4cd116b8-dc8b-47ed-948d-b3a6351839da.jpg?v=1685013461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/subtract-leidy-klotz-9781250249876","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
