Leidy Klotz | The Untapped Science of Less

My guest today is Leidy Klotz. Leidy is a Professor at the University of Virginia, with appointments in Engineering, Architecture, and Business. He studies the science of design: how we transform things from how they are to how we want them to be. He has secured over $10 million in competitive funding to support this new area of research. To share research insights with those who can use them, he has written more than 80 articles and two books. His most recent book is called Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less.

Some of the topics we explore include:
- The research and insights that led to writing his book Subtract
-How neglecting to consider subtraction can create challenges in our lives 
-The role that our environmental spaces can play in wellbeing 
-The similarities and difference between subtracting and minimalism
-How Leidy works to integrate these ideas work into his own life
- How subtraction can be useful in places like therapy, music, and relationships
