Factfulness by Hans Rosling, with Anna and Ola Rosling, challenges the way we perceive the world. Most people, including experts, consistently answer basic questions about global trends incorrectly—often worse than chance. Rosling explains why this happens through ten powerful instincts that distort our understanding. With engaging stories and clear data, he shows that while the world isn't perfect, it’s far better than we think. By focusing on facts instead of fear, we gain clarity and calm. Factfulness is an eye-opening, hopeful, and essential read that encourages us to base opinions on evidence—and to focus on real global priorities.
