Description
A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases. Factfulness: The Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - and Why Things Are Better Than You Think offers a radical new explanation for why we often get global trends wrong. By understanding the ten instincts that distort our perspective, you'll be able to see the world in a new light. Hans Rosling, a professor of international health, and his collaborators Anna and Ola, reveal how progress is often secret and silent, and how to spot it clearly. The book reveals the surprising state of the world, and how our biases can lead us astray. With clear explanations and compelling insights, Factfulness is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to think more clearly about the world.
