Krátky popis
'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 Factfulnessdoes 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: The
stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have
strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global
trends - why the world's population is increasing, how many young
women go to school, how many of us live in poverty - we
systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee
choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists,
Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor
of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans
Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and
Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and
reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It turns
out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better
state than we might think.But when we worry about everything all
the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can
lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving
stories, Factfulnessis an urgent and essential book that will
change the way you see the world.
