Description
Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong about the World - and why Things are Better Than You Think
Our perceptions of the world are often skewed by our own biases and assumptions. But what if we're getting it wrong? Hans Rosling, a professor and TED presenter, and his collaborators Anna and Ola, reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective on global trends. From our tendency to divide the world into two camps to how we consume media, they explain how our guesses are often informed by unconscious and predictable biases.
By understanding these biases, we can gain a more accurate picture of the world. The authors show that, despite its imperfections, the world is in a much better state than we might think. This book offers a radical explanation of why we're so wrong about the world, and how we can focus on the things that truly matter.
