Factfulness : ten resons we're wrong about the world and why things are better than you think / Hans Rosling with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund
"Hans Rosling was a Swedish physician and academic with a passion for using data to explore global development issues. Factfulness was posthumously published and co-authored by his son, Ola Rosling, and daughter-in-law, Anna Rosling Rönnlund.
The book focuses on the idea that we systematically overestimate how bad the world is on many of the most important metrics, such as poverty, violence and income. Rosling believes this overdramatic worldview is mainly the result of 10 innate “overdramatic instincts”.
Factfulness is an attempted antidote to these instincts, demonstrating how our approach to facts and data can counter these innate biases."
