So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. \\n \\nIn \u003ci\u003eFactfulness\u003c\/i\u003e, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers \u003cb\u003ea radical new explanation of why this happens\u003c\/b\u003e. They reveal \u003cb\u003ethe ten instincts that distort our perspective\u003c\/b\u003e—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of \u003ci\u003eus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ethem\u003c\/i\u003e) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). \\n \\nOur problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. \\n \\n\u003cb\u003eIt turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think.\u003c\/b\u003e 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. \\n \\nInspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFactfulness \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WooCommerce Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49068191023333,"sku":"154","price":165.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/0393\/4949\/files\/41w1ntwSa1L._SX321_BO1204203200_-1-1.jpg?v=1778962506","url":"https:\/\/bookstohome.co.in\/products\/factfulness-by-hans-rosling","provider":"BOOKSTOHOME BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
