Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World ? and Why Things Are Better Than You Think is a 2018 book by Swedish statistician Hans Rosling with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Rosling R?nnlund. In the book, Rosling suggests the vast majority of human beings are wrong about the state of the world. He demonstrates that his test subjects believe the world is poorer, less healthy, and more dangerous than it actually is, attributing this not to random chance but to misinformation. Rosling recommends thinking about the world as divided into four levels based on income brackets and suggests ten instincts that prevent us from seeing real progress in the world.
