In "Factfulness," Hans Rosling uncovers a transformative insight: our world is improving more than we realize. Despite constant news of conflict and deprivation, he demonstrates that the majority of the world's population is, in fact, climbing out of poverty. Rosling identifies ten instincts that skew our perspective, such as our tendency to focus on extremes and to perceive progress as linear. He encourages a more "factful" mindset, and clearer understanding of data and reality. By breaking down global trends into chunks, Rosling dispels common myths. For instance, he reveals that most countries no longer fit neatly into "developed" or "developing" categories but span a spectrum of income levels. Moreover, global health, literacy, and equality are on the rise, even if progress occurs at varying paces. "Factfulness" is a beacon of hope, illuminating the advancements humanity has made and urging us to see the world with informed optimism.
