In the book, “ Ten reasons we’re wrong about the world – And why things are better than you think” Hans Rosling manages to achieve the unexpected and completely alter the way in which we view the world.
What exactly is "factfulness"?
Factfulness is a new thinking habit that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to challenges and opportunities of the future. It is the stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. Like a healthy diet and regular exercise, it can and should become part of people’s daily lives. Start to practise it, and you will make better decisions, stay alert to real dangers and possibilities, and avoid being constantly stressed about the wrong things. Learn how to fight your own personal bias and get a more realistic perspective on the world around you. 'One of the most important books I've ever read - an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.' BILL GATES Factfulness will make you better understand the world we live in.
IMPORTANT This is a book summary of Factfulness by Hans Rosling and not the original book. It takes the average person 58.5 minutes to read 10000 words.

Profoundly important
Misperceptions about our world abound. Many are the result of instinctive reactions involving the tendency to generalize, making judgments based on our fears, the tendency to believe negative news rather than positive, to believe destiny is knowable, or that placing blame in a single cause for an outcome is sufficient to explaining complex situations.
