Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World
and Why Things Are Better Than You Think
Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund
19 min read
overview
What percentage of the world’s population live in poverty? How many girls are out of school today? Why is the world’s population increasing despite a reduction in the number of children per household? Hans Rosling is a professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon. Anna Rosling Rönnlund is a Swedish designer who, with her husband Ola Rosling, developed Trendalyzer, interactive software for visualizing statistical information. In this book Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective — from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.
