thebigz 's review for:
7.5/10
This is a good look at fact vs perception and how we can get caught up in beliefs that aren't based on fact, or at least current facts.
It is all about how the quality of life for basically everyone is improving despite what some may think.
So you might think "hey Chris, isn't 7.5/10 closer to 4 stars than 3?" Yes it is. I knocked out down one star because this book paints the picture that things are so much better than people think so why should I be concerned about the problems if things are getting so much better? This exact thought process is briefly discussed in the book and shown to be incorrect, but despite that, my guess is after reading, people would be less likely to attempt to improve whatever they see as the problems facing the world.
Interesting book, (probably) good info, but minus one star for the tone i perceived.
