Factfulness

Hans Rosling

In “Factfulness,” Hans Rosling clarifies his worldview by looking at the facts. He points out that even though we are living in a modern world with many imperfections, we are in a state far better than we think. All in all, if you listen to the mainstream media, you’ll be afraid to leave your house, but the data shows that the things we fear the most, are less likely to happen than, for example, being struck by a bolt of lightning.
