45. Leidy Klotz on Why the Best Solutions Involve Less — Not More
from People I (Mostly) Admire · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher
When we try to improve things, our first thought is often: What can we add to make this better? But Leidy, a professor of engineering, says we tend to overlook the fact that a better solution might be to take something away. He and Steve talk about examples from Leidy’s book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less, and from their own lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
