To me factfulness the key message of factfulness was that the world is in a better place than it used to be if you look at the data. This along with the need for factfulness is what the book is about. The key messages of the book are there in the first 50 pages and then it starts to become repetitive while looking at our different biases which blind us from being more factful. All in all a good read and Hans personal encounters lend a nice touch

A very insightful read. Rosling’s advocation for a fact-based worldview makes a lot of sense considering the proliferation of outdated ideas and their impact on our view of how the world operates. The amount of data and research make it hard to argue against the points Rosling makes throughout the book. I would highly recommend this book to everyone as a way to more accurately and logically view the world around us.

Nachdem der "wundervolle" Hans Rosling in den Büchern von Melinda Gates, Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim, Christian Stöcker und ich glaube auch Adam Grant referenziert wurde, musste ich ihn endlich auch selber lesen, und er ist wundervoll!
