Factfulness
Ten Reasons we’re Wrong About the World and Why Things are Better Than You Think
A vast majority of people are wrong about the state of the world. The world is in a much better state than we might think. This leads to over stressed societies due to a non fact based view. A human tendency to pay attention to information that fits our dramatic instincts. There’s no room for facts when our minds are occupied by fear. Fear instinct systematically distorts what we see of the world and influence our lives negatively.
The authors reveal ten instincts why we have a distorted perspective of the world. Understanding these instincts will replace dramatic views with a worldview based on facts. Challenge your source of information. Training yourself to not take all things for true, can remove unnecessary anxiety and stress from your life. Action driven not by fear and urgency but by data and coolheaded analysis. When you are called to action, sometimes the most useful action you can take is to improve the data. Data on which you can form your judgement and decisions.
Factfulness will improve your judgement on situations in general, and in personal and business situations.
