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.
今年到目前为止最喜欢的一本书,读完仍感觉意犹未尽
评分知道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。
评分The ideas in the book are tremendously thought-provoking while the narratives are plain,vivid and of course fact-based.
评分比尔盖茨的上半年推荐书。前面的章节,可以作为平克的“这个世界在变好吗”的注脚,但比平克的要易读;整书可以作为Critical thinking的指引,但有时候觉得作者扩散得有点大,会讨论到不是他专业领域的事情,但并不严重,也不令人厌烦,因为作者的行文一直很平和,让人舒服。 作者认为,基于事实的世界观值得追求且最终也是会实现的: - 首先,这对生活有重要的指导意义 - 其次,基于事实的生活模式,让人更放松一些,从而也活得从容一些
