「我人生中閱讀過最重要的作品之一，帶領你清晰正視世界的不二指南。」─比爾‧蓋茲
以幾個最簡單的問題談論全球趨勢─為什麼全球的環境汙染逐漸擴張；全世界有多少年輕女性擁有學習的機會；有多少人們活在貧困生活中─我們希望獲得正確觀察，但事實上，對於這些問題的答案我們卻一再得到錯誤的結論，甚至錯的離譜，連黑猩猩隨機選擇的答案，都比記者、諾貝爾獎得主和投資銀行家還要正確。
國際衛生學教授漢斯‧羅斯林與他長期合作的研究夥伴Anna和Ola，透過《現實比你想像的更美好》一書為這些錯誤的答案提供更合理的解答，揭露十大扭曲人們看待事實的本能習慣。書中認為很多人的分歧點，來自於彼此自以為是的直覺和假設，如果我們能夠瞭解並選擇正視，心中的「分歧之牆」就能被拆除，而人們不應被自我無意識的偏見影響，而是選擇及學習看清事實。
這是已故作家漢斯‧羅斯林教授生前最重要的著作，以最後的努力幫助人們理解世界各領域都在逐漸改善，提供明確、可執行的建議，克服心中的偏見，透過事實層面看待世界。
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.
When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective.
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world.
