À propos de cet audio

For fans of Freakonomics and Thinking, Fast and Slow, here is a book by Hans Rosling, the scientist called "a true inspiration" by Bill Gates, that teaches us how to see the world as it truly is.

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only 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 longtime 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.

though i thought i was very boring at first with his monotone voice, it got more and more interesting. There were many moments when I felt so touched by his story of the villages, his mistakes and how he's learned a life lesson. Hans was truly a great man.

I thought it was boring at first

I just loved this book! every time I'd give it a listen I just wanted to keep listening - hard to disconnect. unfortunately, at times I found the voice actor a bit monotonous. which was too bad as the content was super interesting.

Loved this book!

This book has changed the way I now view the world. What Hans, Anna, and Ola were able to create is really eye opening. The way all of the facts are interspersed with stories from Hans life, is really eye opening and the way he can reflect on his mistakes and how he has changed is really different and good. #Audible1

A better way to view the world

This book, like the Ted talks is a great treat for the thinking mind. In today's reality of populist politics and political correctness, this book is a must read

A must listen for everyone.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable audiobook. It made me realize that many of the beliefs of the world that we have may be wrong, and that it is best to question them through research and study. It also made me aware of the fact that many things in our world are improving, instead of getting worse.

Insightful And Informative!
