Nous nous croyons rationnels et informés. Pourtant, nous nous trompons systématiquement, y compris - peut-être même plus - sur les sujets que nous croyons bien connaître. Mais, comme le révèle Hans Rosling, les raisons pour lesquelles nous nous trompons sont toujours les mêmes ! C'est le fonctionnement même de notre cerveau qui nous induit en erreur : en nous incitant à chercher un coupable à tout phénomène, en résumant les problèmes à une opposition binaire, en se laissant éblouir par les gros chiffres ou en dramatisant à l'excès (et en adorant ça)... Alors que les fake news pullulent, cet essai confirme l'importance de la vérité des faits et des chiffres, et nous aide à traquer les biais de pensée qui déforment notre vision des choses. Indispensable pour comprendre le monde tel qu'il est, Factfulness permet d'adopter, enfin, la saine habitude de ne fonder son opinion que sur des faits.

'a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases'. BARACK OBAMA 'One of the most important books I've ever read - an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.' BILL GATES 'Hans Rosling tells the story of "the secret silent miracle of human progress" as only he can. 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 Factfulnes s: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness , Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. 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.

This is a book that contains very few numbers. Instead, it is about meeting people who have opened my eyes. It was facts that helped him explain how the world works. But it was curiosity and commitment that made the late Hans Rosling, author of worldwide bestseller Factfulness , the most popular researcher of our time. How I Learned to Understand the World is Hans Rosling''s own story of how a young scientist learned became a revolutionary thinker, and takes us from the swelter of an emergency clinic in Mozambique, to the World Economic Forum at Davos. In collaboration with Swedish journalist Fanny Hargestam, Hans Rosling wrote his memoir with the same joy of storytelling that made a whole world listen when he spoke.
