Factfulness Illustrated: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

A pressing problem in society is that oftentimes facts become misconstrued by what is unknown and the guesses that are made as to the facts of many life situations are misinformed by unconscious and unreliable biases. This book suggests that while there may be a lot to worry about in the world, some things may be in a better state than we assume — posing that a lot of the worry fueled by media sensationalism can make us lose sight of the facts and compounds our worries unproductively. The book is fulled with anecdotes exploring these situations where knowledge and judgment get clouded, and aims to empower the reader to respond to the facts of life with more discretion and optimism for the future.
