APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Poverty is down, life expectancy is up and—surprise!—the world is a much brighter place than we think. That’s the core tenet of Factfulness, a masterful recalibration of global misconceptions from breakout TED speaker Hans Rosling, a medical doctor and renowned international health professor. Using clear-eyed reasoning, anecdotal support and “data as therapy”, Rosling shows how we’ve let fear, overgeneralisations, and impatience blind us to major leaps in human progress. Factfulness is a crucial lesson for confusing times, reminding us that the path ahead lies not in panic but in clear thinking.

Factfulness
What an outstanding book. It challenged my thinking again and again. I love the way it cuts through today’s sensationalism and replaces it with cool and not-so-scary facts. Excellent and highly recommended!
For younger audience
This Is a great book for younger audience who might not know much about the world, numbers and how to use them. Easy to read and fun.
