350: The Untapped Science of Less with Leidy Klotz

Our default tendency, when we encounter something we want to change, is to think about what we’re going to add to it.

Joining Indre on the podcast today is professor of engineering systems and environment, Leidy Klotz. A former professional soccer player, Leidy has gone on to pursue his interest in studying how we transform things from how they are to how we want them to be, and has written for a number of prominent publications including The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, and The Behavioral Scientist. His new book, Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less, explores the concept of subtraction as an effective yet often overlooked problem-solving strategy, and forms the basis for today’s fascinating episode.
