Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think
The Book is from Factfulness by Hans Rosling, exploring widespread misconceptions about global development and advocating for a fact-based worldview. It starts with a quiz to highlight how little people know about global realities, followed by a deep dive into why we are so misinformed. Rosling then outlines ten instincts that distort our perspectives: the gap, negativity, straight line, fear, size, generalization, destiny, single perspective, blame, and urgency instincts. He uses personal anecdotes and data to expose these biases, emphasizing the importance of understanding global progress while acknowledging ongoing problems. The text promotes critical thinking and a balanced understanding of the world through data and context. The book is co-authored by Anna Rosling Rönnlund and Ola Rosling who helped produce the work.
