"Factfulness by Hans Rosling" challenges popular conceptions that the world is an evil place to live, presenting his data-driven argument on the evidence that life on Earth is not too bad after all. Using statistics in an appealing way and telling engaging stories, it shows how many of our views on the big global issues—poverty, health, and the environment—are seriously outdated. The author, a famous medic and statistician, introduces ten instincts keeping us away from the truth and gives ten instruments to adjust our vision, making it a gent and essential read. In a nutshell, this is an optimistic book that encourages a reader to look at the situation and future of humanity with facts and not fear, where opportunities for progress are actually evident.
