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

Factfulness is a compelling and enlightening book that challenges common misconceptions about the state of the world. Authored by Hans Rosling, a renowned Swedish physician and statistician, along with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Rosling Rönnlund, the book delves into the reasons why people often have a pessimistic view of global progress.

Through ten instinctive biases—such as the gap instinct, negativity instinct, and urgency instinct—the authors explain how these mental shortcuts can lead to a distorted perception of reality. By presenting data-driven insights and encouraging critical thinking, Factfulness empowers readers to develop a more accurate and hopeful understanding of the world.

The book has received acclaim from notable figures, including Bill Gates, who described it as "one of the most important books I've ever read"
