INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates
“Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates
"Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama
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.

“This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance…Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.
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.

這本書的裝幀設計簡直是一場災難,我收到的這本,紙張薄得像蟬翼,印刷的字跡在燈光下反光嚴重,閱讀體驗極差。為瞭能看清楚裏麵的內容,我不得不戴上老花鏡,並且在書桌上拉一盞颱燈,調整角度,這簡直是對“閱讀”這個行為本身的摺磨。內容上,我得承認,作者在構建其哲學體係方麵下瞭大功夫,各種引經據典,旁徵博引,信息密度高到令人頭暈。我估計得查閱至少上百個名詞解釋纔能勉強跟上作者的思路。很多段落需要反復閱讀三四遍,纔能領悟到其中那層層疊疊的隱喻和反諷。這不是一本可以輕鬆翻閱的書,它要求讀者投入極大的認知資源。我個人覺得,作者在追求理論的“完備性”時,犧牲瞭敘事上的流暢性。情節推進到某些關鍵節點時,會突然插入大段的哲學思辨或者曆史考據,生硬地打斷瞭讀者的代入感。坦白地說,看到一半時,我産生瞭強烈的放棄衝動,但齣於對作者學術聲譽的尊重,我還是硬著頭皮堅持瞭下來。
评分我是在一個朋友的極力推薦下抱著試一試的心態開始閱讀的,沒想到,它徹底顛覆瞭我對當代文學的認知。這本書最大的魅力在於它的“輕盈”。雖然主題涉及瞭人類文明的重大議題,但作者的筆觸卻異常輕盈、灑脫,仿佛一位技藝高超的魔術師,在變幻莫測的現實世界中跳著優美的舞蹈。他巧妙地運用瞭大量的短句和排比句,使得文字充滿瞭跳躍感和音樂性,讀起來朗朗上口,讓人有一種忍不住要大聲朗讀齣來的衝動。書中對於“時間”的理解尤其令我震撼,作者將過去、現在和未來熔鑄於一爐,時間不再是綫性的概念,而是一種可以被重新審視和編輯的維度。這種處理方式極具開創性,也讓故事充滿瞭宿命感和宿命的反抗。我喜歡作者在關鍵時刻留白的技巧,他從不把話說死,而是給讀者留下足夠的想象空間去填補那些情感的空白和意義的深淵。讀完閤上書本的那一刻,我感到一種久違的、被充分滋養後的滿足感,它不僅僅是一個故事,更像是一次對自我靈魂的深度掃描和校準。
评分老實說,我原本對這種講述宏大曆史背景的小說不太感冒,總覺得會很枯燥,充滿瞭說教意味。但這本書完全打破瞭我的刻闆印象。它最成功的地方在於,它用一種極其現代、甚至可以說是有點“跳脫”的敘事手法,講述瞭一個看似古老的故事。作者似乎很懂得如何抓住現代讀者的注意力,開篇就設置瞭一個極具懸念的場景,節奏感把握得非常到位,讓人忍不住想一口氣讀完。我發現自己好幾次在深夜裏被情節推進的情緒所驅動,一直讀到淩晨兩三點。書中的對白非常精彩,充滿瞭機鋒和幽默感,很多地方我甚至忍不住笑齣瞭聲,這在嚴肅題材的作品中是難得一見的。角色塑造也是一流的,那些邊緣人物,哪怕隻齣場寥寥數筆,也都有著令人難忘的個性。比如那個神經質的圖書管理員,他的一段內心獨白,那種對日常瑣事的執著和偏執,真是寫到瞭骨子裏。整本書讀下來,感覺就像是看瞭一部節奏緊湊、視聽效果極佳的電影,信息量巨大,但消化起來卻毫不費力,因為它總是巧妙地將嚴肅的主題包裹在引人入勝的故事外殼之下。
评分這本厚實的精裝書,拿到手裏就有一種沉甸甸的曆史感。它的封麵設計低調卻富有深意,那種泛黃的紙張質感仿佛能把我瞬間拉迴到那個遙遠的年代。我花瞭整整一個下午纔讀完前三章,裏麵的敘事方式極其古典,每一個句子都像是精心雕琢的藝術品,充滿瞭那個時代特有的莊嚴和韻律。作者對細節的把握令人咋舌,對於當時社會風貌的描摹細緻入微,從貴族的服飾到街頭巷尾的叫賣聲,都栩栩如生地呈現在眼前。閱讀的過程更像是一場穿越時空的旅行,我仿佛能聞到那個時代特有的煤煙味,感受到那種緩慢而堅定的生活節奏。它不是那種快餐式的消遣讀物,需要你靜下心來,慢慢品味,每一個轉摺、每一個人物的命運都蘊含著深刻的哲理。我尤其欣賞作者在處理復雜人物關係時所展現齣的那種冷靜和剋製,沒有過多的情緒渲染,卻能讓讀者在字裏行間感受到人性的掙紮與光輝。這本書的結構宏大,橫跨瞭數十年,涉及的人物眾多,但作者始終能把控得遊刃有餘,敘事綫索清晰而不失靈動。讀完之後,我需要花很長時間來消化那些沉澱下來的情緒和思考,它留給讀者的迴味空間是極其廣闊的。
评分對於這種帶有強烈個人色彩和時代烙印的作品,不同的人會有截然不同的體驗。對我來說,這本書最大的問題在於它的視角過於局限,充滿瞭作者個人臆斷和情感投射。書中塑造的主角團,個個都像是某種理念的化身,他們的行為邏輯雖然在作者構建的世界觀裏自洽,但放在更廣闊的現實背景下,就顯得有些扁平化和刻闆。我尤其反感作者在描繪某個特定群體時的那種居高臨下的批判姿態,雖然使用瞭幽默和諷刺的筆法,但底色裏透著一股“我比你更懂世界”的傲慢。這種敘事上的優越感讓我非常不舒服。此外,小說的後半部分明顯齣現瞭後繼無力的跡象,收尾倉促,很多原本埋下的伏筆都沒有得到閤理的解釋或解答,感覺作者似乎是寫到某個節點後,便急於收場,留下一堆散落的綫頭任由讀者自己去整理。總的來說,它或許在某些文學愛好者圈子裏會受到追捧,但對我而言,它更像是一部未完成的、帶有強烈個人宣言性質的作品,看完之後,留下的是一種未盡興的遺憾。
评分“我不是針對誰,我是說在座的所有人,都不如大猩猩。“”開篇就吞劍的大哥,總覺得哪裏怪怪的。推薦Dollarstreet.org,很有趣。世界大同。
评分大部分的題確實都做錯瞭。。囧。道理雖然不難,係統化總結和raise awareness還是很有意義。
