A book so important to understand the world that Bill Gates gave it to all American college graduates in 2018. A book revealing our utter ignorance of the current state - the miracles of human progress in hard data. A book that is your new antidepressant in a world where the seemingly impossible becomes possible.
Faktomluva: úlevný zvyk tvořit si pouze takové názory, pro které máte silná podpůrná fakta.
When people are to answer simple questions about the state of the world - such as whether extreme poverty is declining, what life expectancy on earth is, or the number of violent crimes - they systematically choose the wrong answers. So bad that if chimpanzees were to be randomly matched, they would perform better than teachers, investment bankers and Nobel Prize winners.
“This book is the last battle in my lifelong mission - the fight against devastating global ignorance. In previous battles, I armed myself with large data sets, smart software, energetic lecture style, and a Swedish bayonet. It wasn't enough. But I hope this book will do its job. ”- Hans Rosling, February 2017.
Hans Rosling, a physician, statistician and science populist, explains this surprising phenomenon. It describes ten instincts - unconscious but predictable thought distortions that affect our views of the outside world. For example, the instinct of the abyss - we tend to divide the world into fundamentally different camps, negatives - we notice more bad than good phenomena, but also urgency - the feeling of "now or never" leads us to rash decisions, or the instinct of blame - not causes. By focusing on the facts, we find that the world as a whole is doing much better than we think. And that, moreover, it is improving rapidly. This does not mean that there are no serious problems and risks that threaten humanity. But if we know our deceptive instincts, we can look at the problems on the basis of the facts and devote ourselves to dealing with what is really important.
Inspirující Faktomluva, protknutá napínavými i dojemnými příběhy ze života autora, je zásadní knihou, která nejenže změní způsob vašeho hodnocení světa, vybaví do boje s ničivou nevědomostí, ale vybaví vás i schopností správně reagovat na všechny budoucí výzvy.
"Three minutes with Hans Rosling will change your mind about the world."
Nature
"One of the most important books I've ever read - an indispensable way to think clearly about the world."
Bill Gates
“Wonderful ... Rosling's talent for lecturing and the passion for statistics are united on every page. Who else would demonstrate human progress using the 'per capita guitars' graph?'
Financial Times
“In the hands of Hans Rosling, the data is beginning to sing. Global health and economy trends are getting vivid. And the broader picture of global development - with some surprisingly good news - is suddenly getting sharp. ”
NOW
"A hopeful book about what human progress can do when we learn to work with facts instead of succumbing to innate biases."
Barack Obama
(1948–2017) was a Swedish physician, statistician, public scientist, and enthusiastic sword swallower. In his youth he worked as a doctor in African countries, then he worked as a professor of international health at the Karolinska Institute, as an advisor to the World Health Organization and UNICEF. He co-founded the Gapminder Foundation, popularizing facts about the state of the world. Rosling's phenomenal appearances at NOW have over thirty-five million views, and Time magazine ranked him one of the world's 100 most influential personalities. He spent the last year of his life writing this book.
Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, son and daughter-in-law of Hans Rosling, are co-founders of the Gapminder Foundation. Ola worked in the years 2005–2007 and from 2010 to the present as its director. Together with Anna, he created an online bubble charting tool, and when it was bought by Google, Ola became Google's leader for the public data team, while Anna took over the role of Chief UX Designer. They have received several international awards for their work.
