Beskrivelse

Blending behavioral science and design, this book offers a scientific appreciation of why we underuse subtraction - and how to access its untapped potential. The author shows that we consistently overlook the principle of subtraction as a way to improve. Drawing from his own research and scientific research throughout history, he examines cultural, political, and economic trends underlying our neglect of subtraction. Proposing a new way to frame our behaviors, he shares examples and anecdotes to supplement his proven techniques on implementing a new perspective and understanding of subtraction.
