This video is a review and discussion of the bestselling book "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling. In the book, Rosling seeks to change the way we see the world by teaching readers to "think in a fact-based, unemotional way about the realities of the world." He argues that our perceptions are often skewed by instinctive thinking and overgeneralization. By focusing on actual global trends backed by statistical data, Rosling hopes to dispel common misconceptions and help people make better decisions. This video analyzes Rosling's key arguments and lessons, highlighting how seeing the world through a "factfulness" lens can reshape our beliefs and assumptions. I discuss the 13 questions Rosling uses throughout the book to illustrate how our instincts often mislead us about issues like global poverty, hunger, disease and more. I also share some of my own perspectives on Rosling's approach to dealing with phenomena in a balanced, facts-driven manner. If you want to learn to view the world's progress in a more positive yet reasoned way, this book and video review may change how you think about many global issues.

Who am I?

I have a lot of dumb ideas. I tend to write them down and then revisit them from time to time. Sometimes, the world and/or my own understanding of it has moved enough to where it can now be taken to a new place. If you’d like to talk, I’d love to hear from you.

Enjoy!
