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

Factfulness by Hans Rosling, with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, is a thoughtful and eye-opening book about how we misunderstand the world and why things are often better than they seem. Using global data, personal stories, and clear explanations, Rosling shows how fear, bias, media headlines, and old assumptions can distort the way we see poverty, education, health, population growth, and human progress.

The book introduces ten instincts that lead people to make wrong conclusions, including the gap instinct, fear instinct, blame instinct, and urgency instinct. Instead of ignoring real problems, Factfulness encourages readers to look at facts carefully and focus on the issues that matter most.

Inspiring, practical, and hopeful, this bestselling nonfiction book is a strong choice for readers interested in global issues, critical thinking, public health, data, psychology, and understanding the modern world more clearly.
