Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.
When asked simple questions about global trends―what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school―we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective―from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).
Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future.

医学教授罗斯林在外出演讲的时候，经常给观众出题。这些题发达国家的人回答正确比例，不及大猩猩，大家自己做一下，测算一下自己和大猩猩怎么比。回答匿名，回答错了不需要重读小学。（答案藏在文中，先别看）。 Rosling, H., Rosling, O., & Rönnlund, A. R. (2018).Fa...

A good bit of optimism and reflections (from pure data and facts) in such a chaotic world

书的Outro几乎要影响我打星了…但我还是要stick to fact. 我还是不适应这一类书，总感觉作者给我讲了一个特别长的ppt，每天都很挣扎的读一两章。有些事例有意思，但这本书隐含了一个特别重要的数据应该讨论。有多少人对世界的认识有误，这个数据的变化趋势又如何？如果大部分人都negative singleminded以及宿命论，然后只有小部分Level 4的人去读这样的书，这会阻碍human... 书的Outro几乎要影响我打星了…但我还是要stick to fact. 我还是不适应这一类书，总感觉作者给我讲了一个特别长的ppt，每天都很挣扎的读一两章。有些事例有意思，但这本书隐含了一个特别重要的数据应该讨论。有多少人对世界的认识有误，这个数据的变化趋势又如何？如果大部分人都negative singleminded以及宿命论，然后只有小部分Level 4的人去读这样的书，这会阻碍human progress吗？...我果然很能持续丧。 (展开)

The topic is too big for me. The case from the book is all about the view of the world, which barely impulses me to write some thinking.
