The World Is Better Than You Think
Imagine taking a simple quiz about global poverty, education, and health - and scoring worse than if a chimpanzee had randomly selected answers. Sounds impossible? Yet when people worldwide, from Nobel laureates to medical professionals, took Hans Rosling's global facts quiz, that's exactly what happened. We're not just uninformed about the state of the world - we're systematically wrong in predictable ways. Why? Our brains evolved to pay attention to threats and dramatic stories, not gradual improvements and statistical trends. When asked what percentage of the world's one-year-olds are vaccinated against measles, most guess around 20%. The correct answer? Over 80%. When asked about extreme poverty trends over twenty years, most believe the number has doubled. In reality, it's been cut in half. This isn't just academic confusion - it's a dramatic worldview that distorts our understanding of reality. We see catastrophe, division, and hopelessness while overlooking gradual, positive developments. The gap between perception and reality isn't random; it follows patterns that affect everyone regardless of education or profession. What makes Factfulness so powerful is that it doesn't just correct our facts - it examines why our thinking goes astray and offers practical tools to see the world more clearly. Bill Gates was so impressed he gifted the book to all US college graduates one year. The question is: are you ready to discover how much better the world is than you think?
