Factfulness Illustrated Av Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund

FACTFULNESS: the stress-reducing habit of only having opinions for which there are strong supporting facts.<br/><br/><br/>Things aren't as bad as we think. Fact.<br/><br/>When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.<br/><br/>In Factfulness, legendary statisticians Hans, Anna and Ola Rosling offer a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective.<br/><br/>It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we let the bad news take on outsize proportions instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.<br/><br/>Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
