KSh100

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.

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.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective.
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
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.

Factfulness by Hans Rosling with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund — Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

Called one of the most important books he has ever read by Bill Gates, Factfulness is a radical, data-driven challenge to almost everything you think you know about the world. Hans Rosling — one of the world’s most acclaimed statisticians and public educators — reveals the ten instincts that systematically distort our worldview, from the fear instinct and the negativity instinct to the size instinct and the blame instinct.

The result is a book that is simultaneously humbling and deeply hopeful. The world is not as broken as the news makes it seem — and the proof is in the data. Rosling doesn’t just debunk misconceptions; he gives you a practical framework for thinking more clearly, more accurately, and more calmly about the world around you.

A New York Times Bestseller that is essential reading for students, researchers, policymakers, journalists, and anyone who wants to understand the world as it actually is.
