Factfulness Illustrated: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

Factfulness is a stress-reducing habit that emphasizes having opinions based on strong facts. It reveals that we often get the answers wrong when asked about global trends, such as population growth, education, and poverty. Legendary statisticians Hans, Anna, and Ola Rosling explain why this happens and reveal ten instincts that distort our perspective. They argue that the world is in a much better state than we might think, but focusing on the things that threaten us most can be lost when bad news takes on outsize proportions.
