PLEASE NOTE:This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book.
Hans Rosling challenges everything you thought you knew about the world in his groundbreaking book, Factfulness.
Think you know what percent of the world is vaccinated? Or many people have access to electricity? Rosling proves that whatever you think, you're most likely wrong. Learn how to fight your own personal bias and get a more realistic perspective on the world with Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong about the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.
What does this ZIP Reads Summary Include?
In Factfulness, Rosling has compiled a life of work and research into a call-to-action for reason, rationality, and data. He argues that most people assume the world is worse off today than it was in the past, and that this is patently false. Using decades, and sometimes centuries, of data, he systemically counters many common notions held today—that the world is more violent, that more people live in poverty, and that population growth is not truly exponential—to name a few.
