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 Factfulnes s: 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,793 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Probability & Statistics (Books) #41 in Decision-Making & Problem Solving #43 in Cognitive Psychology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 27,934 Reviews | ## Images ![Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818qWkHcICL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***E on July 31, 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***N on August 3, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on April 16, 2018* ## Frequently Bought Together - Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think - The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data - The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/146926173-factfulness-ten-reasons-were-wrong-about-the-world-and-why](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/146926173-factfulness-ten-reasons-were-wrong-about-the-world-and-why) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
