Factfulness

Beskrivelse

Factfulness challenges common misconceptions about the world by showing how often we get basic facts about global trends wrong. Hans Rosling and his collaborators reveal why our understanding is frequently flawed and how to adopt a more accurate perspective.

A fresh way to see the world through facts, not fear.

When asked straightforward questions about issues like global population growth, education rates among young women, or poverty levels, most people-including experts-tend to answer incorrectly. In fact, a chimpanzee picking answers at random would outperform many journalists, Nobel Prize winners, and bankers.

In this eye-opening book, Hans Rosling, a professor of International Health known for making data come alive, teams up with Anna and Ola Rosling to explain why these misunderstandings happen. They identify ten common instincts that skew our worldview.

Despite its flaws, the world is in a far better condition than we often believe. Yet, when we let constant worry cloud our judgment instead of relying on facts, we lose focus on the real challenges we face.

Full of engaging stories and inspiring examples, Factfulness is a vital read that will transform how you perceive the world around you.
