How To Build a Happy Life: Subtraction as a Solution
Podcast: How to Know What’s RealPublished On: Mon Oct 31 2022
Description: From how we build our cities to how we shop, it can seem as though our natural human tendency is to add. But a culture of accumulation may be exactly what holds us back from the simple solution in front of us: taking things away. University of Virginia professor Leidy Klotz helps us analyze the benefits of subtraction and how less may create the space for what we truly desire.
