Factfulness is an inspiring and eye-opening exploration of the world as it truly is—based on facts rather than misconceptions. Written by the late Hans Rosling, with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Rosling Rönnlund, this international bestseller challenges our deeply ingrained biases and offers a refreshing perspective on global progress.
Through engaging anecdotes, thought-provoking data, and real-life examples, Factfulness reveals how the world is steadily improving in areas such as health, poverty, and education—contrary to common pessimistic beliefs. Rosling introduces ten key instincts that cloud our judgment, such as the tendency to divide the world into "us vs. them" or to believe things are getting worse rather than better.
Endorsed by influential figures like Barack Obama and Bill Gates, Factfulness encourages readers to adopt a fact-based worldview and provides practical tools to navigate an increasingly complex and information-rich world. Whether you're a policymaker, student, or simply curious about the state of humanity, this book offers a hopeful and empowering perspective on progress and the power of clear thinking.
