Factuality
19.99 €
When we think about the current state of affairs in the world, it seems to us that every year the situation is getting worse and worse. Natural disasters are claiming more and more lives, populations of rare and endangered animals are literally melting away, and the proportion of the world's population living in poverty is steadily increasing. In fact, the opposite is true. In his book "Factuality. Ten reasons for our misconceptions about the world - and why things are not as bad as they seem" scientist, doctor, lecturer and one of the founders of the Swedish branch of Médecins Sans Frontières, Hans Rosling not only talks about the most common mistakes our brains make when trying to assess the global changes taking place in the world, but also gives tools through which you can learn to correctly see and understand the big picture of what is happening, even if you do not have time to analyze the small details.
