Things aren't as bad as we think. Fact.\u003cbr\u003eWhen asked simple questions about global trends—why the world's population\u003cbr\u003eis increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in\u003cbr\u003epoverty—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee\u003cbr\u003echoosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel\u003cbr\u003elaureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, legendary statisticians\u003cbr\u003eHans, Anna, and Ola Rosling offer a radical new explanation of why this\u003cbr\u003ehappens, and reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It\u003cbr\u003eturns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better\u003cbr\u003estate than we might think. But when we let the bad news take on outsize\u003cbr\u003eproportions instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose\u003cbr\u003eour ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Filled with\u003cbr\u003elively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential\u003cbr\u003ebook that will change the way you see the world. And now, here is this\u003cbr\u003especial gift edition: With charts and photographs in color, and a larger\u003cbr\u003eformat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Hans Rosling\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Flatiron Books\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":50682340245785,"sku":"X45442","price":17.77,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50682340344089,"sku":"X45442","price":15.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50682340409625,"sku":"X45442","price":13.59,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50682340507929,"sku":"X45442","price":12.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/1250624959.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1793973230","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/factfulness-illustrated-ten-reasons-were-wrong-about-the-world-and-why-things-are-better-than-you-think","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
