Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

It highlights the authors' credentials in global health and data visualization, establishing their mission to replace widespread misconceptions with a fact-based worldview. Through a diagnostic quiz and subsequent analysis, the text reveals that people across all education levels consistently view the world as more negative and dramatic than it actually is. This systematic ignorance is attributed not to a lack of intelligence, but to ingrained human instincts that distort our perception of global progress. The authors aim to provide practical thinking tools to help readers recognize these mental biases and understand that many global trends are significantly better than they assume. Ultimately, the source serves as an invitation to upgrade outdated knowledge and adopt a more accurate perspective on the state of humanity.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Better/dp/1250123828?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=c2ca8a4447b69ba6c7e9b023309c0b40&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
