Very informative, well-written book. You learn new things in every chapter.

This book is about gaining a fact-based view of the world and not allowing yourself to be distracted by typical ‘instincts’ (as they are called in the book). For example, facts are often misrepresented or misinterpreted in the media because people have been misled by their instincts. A highly recommended book for everyone! In my opinion, it's a must-read for anyone who regularly watches the news and is interested in understanding the world better.

i really, really liked this! i think this was the first non fiction book that i finished and that was actually very interesting to read! it kinda dragged on a little bit in the middle (hence the one missing star) but it was engaging and thought provoking and taught me a lot. i think i will be thinking about this book for some time. take from this book what you think will be useful and what interested you and enjoy the new knowledge you gained! love to all!

Thought provoking and, frankly, a relief if you’ve been reading a lot of Trump books.

Well written and packed with insights. This book could leave you with tools to have a more fact-based and humble worldview.

Wow. I used to think I was pretty informed about world progress, but this book completely changed my perspective. It's an absolutely essential read for everyone. It presents the stunning data on how far humanity has come and what life is really like for most people around the globe. Most people including the top experts, have it all wrong. That old idea of 'the West and the rest' or 'developed vs. developing countries' is a worldview from 50 years ago, The world today is nothing like that anymore!
