Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less

 

Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less” by Leidy Klotz introduces a unique perspective on problem-solving—one that centers around the concept of subtraction. In a world where we often focus on adding more to our lives and to-do lists, Klotz suggests that the act of subtracting can be a powerful strategy for improving both personal and professional aspects.

Within the pages of this book, readers are invited to explore the transformative potential of subtraction. By examining the notion of “stop-dos” alongside traditional to-do lists, Klotz presents readers with practical ways to integrate subtraction into their daily lives. This strategy can be applied to challenges of various scales, from the minor to the monumental.

Klotz’s insights encourage readers to consider the untapped potential of subtraction in achieving greater clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Whether applied to streamlining workflows, simplifying decision-making, or decluttering mental spaces, the concept of subtraction offers a fresh approach to addressing modern challenges.

Leidy Klotz, the author of this innovative work, brings a wealth of expertise to the table. As the Copenhaver Associate Professor at the University of Virginia and the founder of the university’s “Convergent Behavioral Science Initiative,” Klotz is well-versed in human behavior and decision-making. His extensive contributions to academic journals and media outlets, such as The Washington Post and The Globe and Mail, further showcase his commitment to sharing valuable insights with a wide audience.
