Accolades & EndorsementsINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates “Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.” – Former U.S. President Barack ObamaChallenge Your Assumptions!Do you truly know the state of the world? When faced with simple questions about global trends—like poverty rates, population growth, or educational achievements—most of us systematically get the answers wrong. In fact, a chimpanzee choosing answers at random often outperforms teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and even investment bankers!Discover the Ten Instincts that Distort Your ViewIn Factfulness, Professor Hans Rosling, alongside his dedicated collaborators Anna and Ola, unveils a radical new explanation for this widespread ignorance. They reveal the ten powerful instincts that subtly distort our perspective—from our innate tendency to categorize the world into ‘us vs. them’ to how we consume media driven by fear, and our often-pessimistic perception of progress.Embrace a Clearer WorldviewThe surprising truth is, for all its challenges, the world is in a much better state than you might imagine. This doesn’t dismiss real concerns, but by adopting a fact-based worldview, we regain our ability to focus on what truly matters and address the most pressing threats.An Urgent & Essential ReadInspiring and filled with engaging anecdotes, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that promises to transform your global outlook. It will equip you to intelligently navigate the crises and opportunities of the future.A Personal Mission from the AuthorHans Rosling’s final testament to his life’s work: “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance…Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.”
