Description

The world is not so black and white that it can be split between the West and the rest, us versus them. With the media, activists and environmentalists predicting the end of the world like evangelists of doom, 800 million people languishing in extreme poverty worldwide, and an ever-present threat of nuclear conflict in perpetual limbo, it is perhaps understandable that many people assume that the 21st century world is in crisis. However, is it correct to conclude that everything is therefore terrible and only getting worse? In the book "Factfulness" written by Hans Rosling and co-authored with his son Ola and Ola's partner Anna Rosling offers a series of tools which to help control these misleading instincts that foster a wrong worldview. As a physician who has worked and travelled widely, Rosling encountered many practical puzzles which he wrote alongside anecdotes from his own life. Factfulness offers empiricism and rationality as relief from the stress induced by the steady stream of media alarmism. What better way to unburden your opinions of personal bias and fraught emotion than to derive them from facts substantiated by research?You will find in this book:-A comprehensive guide to quickly understand the instincts that make us human and how to get the fact-based world view-Key takeaways on the most important details of each chapter -A list of the right things you REALLY need to worry about-Why Bill Gates put the book right up at the top of his list of books you should be reading right now-Review and Analysis of the book with reference to the new framework on how to think right about the world We know that 800 million are suffering right now. We also know the solutions: peace, schooling, universal basic health care, electricity, clean water, toilets, contraceptives, and microcredits to get market forces started. Yes, the world is still rife with injustice, but not nearly as much as you thought, things are actually getting better. There's no innovation needed to end poverty. It's all about walking the last mile with what's worked everywhere else. Scroll Up Now and Click on the "Buy now with 1-Click" Button to Download your Copy Right Away!
