Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.

When asked simple questions about global trends―what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school―we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective―from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).

Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.

It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. 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 and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future.

读后感

世界根本无事实 事实从来都是被利用的! (一)数据真能看清现实吗? 用数据真的能看清现实吗? 数据一直在说谎。 作者其实讲的是一个概率和媒体的宣传的问题。 数据是枯燥的,数字也是被操控的。 图表看的是真相吗? 我们调整一下横纵坐标完全不一样! 什么是多,什么是少呢?...

首先希望看完本书的人,不要觉得这是比尔盖茨推荐的书,书里面说了一些振奋人心的话语,描述了一些让人感觉良好的事情,然后自己花费了时间投入了情感进行了认真的阅读,然后就觉得这本书是心灵的良药,给个高分,中肯的大众评分可能在5~6分左右。 这篇书评也不仅仅是为了此书...

这个世界会好吗? 这本书英文名为《factfulness》,我认为比较合适的翻译应该是:一切以事实为依据。 这本书开头用13道测试题告诉我们,我们对这个世界的了解其实是存在偏差的,作者通过一组测试题刷新我们对这个世界的认识,刷新我们的世界观。作者希望我们通过这本书介绍的十...

在所有2019年看过的书里,只想认真推荐这一本。不止是因为它能让你换个角度看待世界变迁,对地球和人类有一个更加宏观、全面的认识。更重要的是书中介绍的许多技巧和心理盲点,能够帮助你更实事求是的探索真相,查证事实。 我一再呼吁查证、查证、查证,是因为如今这个世界上有...

简单道理反复讲 这本书的内容完全可以几个bullet points概括啊 反正核心思想就是“这个世界确实还有蛮多糟糕的事发生 但是总体大趋势是变好的” 在对世界失望的同时别忘了应该抱有信心

评分

Single-sided ideology is dangerous, outdated world view is dangerous, selected data is dangerous.

慢悠悠看了很久,一开始的测试题就没对几道。没有想到世界比我预想的要好很多。

知道Hans Rosling这位风趣的瑞典教授,是因为他在Ted Talk用视觉统计学演绎人口变化,是个可以跨界做脱口秀的学者!先生推荐他的这本书Factfulness,文如其人,轻松幽默,同时教读者理性冷冰冰的分析数据。 他用的例子都好奇特:比如他会玩吞剑的杂技(我专门上Youtube搜了,好精彩),以表明没有什么是不可能的;他还会翻出自己的陈年糗事,在急诊室工作时以为病人大出血,结果发现那血只是糖浆还是颜料,以证明恐惧的本能容易导致误判;或是提起年轻时在超市见到婴儿床,会跑上前去把仰卧睡觉的婴儿翻成俯卧(那个年代认为俯睡能防止婴儿呛噎致死)。 好文,要向他这个审慎乐观的”可能主义者“(possibilist)学习。

They even listed a website where all the mistakes they made have been pointed out and corrected. Kudos!
