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.
在看到2个关于数学的解释的时候,觉得有点啰嗦;不过针对普通读者或观众来解释的话,倒很清晰。作者对中国的了解似乎不太多,用中国的计划生育来说明他一个观点,可是确犯了一个致命性常识错误,他以为计划生育是毛提出的。
评分在这个世界的很多领域,情况都在变好,而我们并不知道(或是意识不到)。面对复杂问题,一定要提醒自己不能简单化归因,而是要认真的分析(最新的)数据以及数据背后真正的逻辑,避免做出错误的判断。真好啊,在年末又读到一本挑战自己固化思维和系统性认知偏差的书。向读友圈安利~
评分Be humble, be curious, and be aware that our brains need to be updated from time to time. R.I.P. Prof. Hans Rowling.
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
评分This book introduces ten critical thinking mindsets, worth reading, though a lot of details could be skipped. There are a few ideas that strongly resonate with me.
