“This world is getting worse and worse. We should live like we were in the past. Where we lived side by side with nature. When everything was so peaceful without nuclear power, terrorist threats, or climate change,” that’s how a lot of people thinking about the world nowadays. Even me, I love to imagine ‘the good old days’ of my childhood. But, is it true that our world getting worse?
Hans Rosling is a professor in global health who campaigns the importance of data in viewing our world. He worked hard with his son and daughter-in-law to collect data from the UN, WHO, World Bank, etc to decipher whether this world is getting worse or better. And yes, our world nowadays is not getting worse! Often, it is just us fail to see the fact, don’t know where to look the fact, or just simply ignore it.

One other reviewer described this book as a TED Talk in book form and I agree. The book felt dated as they predicted a pandemic as a likely disaster, clearly they were right. The fact that Hans got pancreatic cancer and died towards the end of the book made it feel more meaningful.

Tämä on yksi niistä harvoista teoksista, jotka oikeasti pystyvät tarjoamaan konkreettisia työkaluja parempaan ajatteluun. Teoksen alussa lukijalta viedään luulot pois, jonka jälkeen nöyränä tulee myöntää, ettei maailman väestön faktat ollutkaan niin hyvin hallussa. Teoksen jälkeen ne ovat - eikä vain yksittäiset faktat, vaan myös työkalut arvioida väitteitä ja argumentteja maailmasta. Teos on kirjoitettu kepeällä ja humoristisella otteella Hans Roslingin omakohtaisten esimerkkien kera. Sain kirjan myötä myös inspiraatiota katsella TED-talkia pitkästä aikaa.
Suosittelen kaikille kevyeksi ja viihdyttäväksi oppaaksi omien harhaluulojen tutkimiseen ja maailman parempaan ymmärtämiseen.

I think this book fully achieved what it set out to do. I would be very interested in Rosling's thoughts on Covid-19 and the rising use of AI. But overall the books message is incredibly impactful...if not sometimes repeative in the set up of this book.
amazing perspective changing book. Why do we categorize the world as developed and developing does it really make any sense at all. Love it!
