About this product

Product Information

This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance, and my final attempt at making an impact on the world. It has been my daily inspiration and joy. In my previous battles I armed myself with huge data sets, beautiful software, an energetic lecturing style and a Swedish bayonet for sword swallowing. It wasn't enough. But I hope that this book will be. When you ask people simple questions about global trends, they systematically get the answers wrong. How many young women go to school? What's the average life expectancy across the world? What will the global population will be in 2050? Do the majority of people live in rich or poor countries? In FACTFULNESS, Hans Rosling and his two lifelong collaborators, Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling-Ronnlund, show why this happens. Based on a lifetime's work promoting a fact-based worldview, they reveal the ten dramatic instincts, and the key preconceptions, that lead to us consistently misunderstanding how the world really works. Inspiring and revelatory, FACTFULNESS is a book of stories by a late legend, for anyone who wants to really understand the world.

    Enlightening book about the current state of human development

    Great book by the late lamented Hans Rosling. Very easy to understand and good explanations of the statistics. Full of interesting data covering a wide range of topics, the book corrects a number of misapprehensions and has a basically optimistic view of the future - perhaps a bit too optimistic.

  • Interesting and Eye Opening

    Absolutely excellent book. Highly recommended. All people should be encouraged to read it. It helps you open your mind and understanding to what is going on in the world and the knock on effect to societies. Encourages the reader to question what we have been told and our preconceived ideas. This book should be studied in schools, colleges and universities.

  • It shines a light on your misconceptions.

    A book that lets you know how little you know about the world, written in an easy reading style that educates the reader without you knowing.
