This is a great book.\" ―Sendhil Mullainathan, MacArthur fellow and author of Scarcity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending behavioral science and design, Leidy Klotz's Subtract offers a scientific appreciation of why we underuse subtraction―and how to access its untapped potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe 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 We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t prune the outdated ones.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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut we have a choice―our blind spot need not go on taking its toll. Subtract 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.","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47825524556002,"sku":"MTO-MACMILLAN-2026-05-22-9.00-1294","price":32.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_293_pyoFaTqdY.jpg?v=1779563642","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/products\/subtract","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
