INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” — Bill Gates
"Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. Factfulness explains why progress is often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” — Melinda Gates
"Factfulness is a hopeful book about human progress when we rely on facts rather than biases." — Former U.S. President Barack Obama
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of forming opinions based on strong supporting facts.
Many of us get simple global trends wrong, such as the percentage of the world’s population living in poverty or the rate of girls finishing school. Often, a chimpanzee choosing answers randomly would outperform experts.
In Factfulness, Hans Rosling, with Anna and Ola, explores why this happens. They identify ten instincts that distort our perspective, from our tendency to divide the world into “us” and “them” to our fear-driven media consumption.
Rosling argues that while the world isn’t perfect, it’s in better shape than we often think. He emphasizes that understanding this can help us focus on real threats and opportunities.
Filled with engaging stories and insights, Factfulness will transform your view of the world and empower you to address future challenges effectively.
"This book is my last battle in my lifelong mission to fight devastating ignorance… I hope this book will be enough." — Hans Rosling
