We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don't prune the outdated ones.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.
