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.
Hans Rosling was a medical doctor, professor of international health and renowned public educator. He was an adviser to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, and co-founded Médecins sans Frontières in Sweden and the Gapminder Foundation. His TED talks have been viewed more than 35 million times, and he was listed as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world. Hans died in 2017, having devoted the last years of his life to writing Factfulness.
Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Hans's son and daughter-in-law, were co-founders of the Gapminder Foundation, and Ola its director from 2005 to 2007 and from 2010 to the present day. After Google acquired the bubble-chart tool called Trendalyzer, invented and designed by Anna and Ola, Ola became head of Google's Public Data Team and Anna the team’s senior user experience (UX) designer. They have both received international awards for their work.
Understanding the world is also about understanding people’s misunderstandings of the world. Only then can one change it for the better. This book makes me hopeful.
評分比爾蓋茨的上半年推薦書。前麵的章節,可以作為平剋的“這個世界在變好嗎”的注腳,但比平剋的要易讀;整書可以作為Critical thinking的指引,但有時候覺得作者擴散得有點大,會討論到不是他專業領域的事情,但並不嚴重,也不令人厭煩,因為作者的行文一直很平和,讓人舒服。 作者認為,基於事實的世界觀值得追求且最終也是會實現的: - 首先,這對生活有重要的指導意義 - 其次,基於事實的生活模式,讓人更放鬆一些,從而也活得從容一些
評分如果沒有確實可靠的數據支撐的話,你之前理解的世界,可能不是真正的世界,因為新聞的本質,決定瞭這個現狀。

以前总看一些跟经济学有关的对人类思维惯性、惰性思维模式的总结,什么99.99的魔力啊,高中低的对比效应啊等等,跟这本书的内容比起来,这些属于决策判断时的最后一步时容易掉进去的坑了,或者说,是一些浅层次的、pattern特征明显的坑。 而这本书所整理总结的东西,则是人类思...
評分 評分首先希望看完本书的人,不要觉得这是比尔盖茨推荐的书,书里面说了一些振奋人心的话语,描述了一些让人感觉良好的事情,然后自己花费了时间投入了情感进行了认真的阅读,然后就觉得这本书是心灵的良药,给个高分,中肯的大众评分可能在5~6分左右。 这篇书评也不仅仅是为了此书...
