Factfulness

Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund, Ola Rosling

Rosling argues that the world is often better than people think and that clear-headed use of data can correct dramatic but misleading narratives.

What stuck

  • The world is often better and more complicated than our default narratives suggest.
  • A dramatic story can still be directionally wrong if the data say otherwise.
