book review " Factfulness"

Author Hans Rosling gives us 10 reasons why we are wrong about the world and why things are better than we think.

1. The Gap Instinct

2. The Negative Instinct

3. The Straight Line Instinct

4. The Fear Instinct

5. The Size Instinct

6. The Generalization Instinct

7. The Destiny Instinct

8. The Single Perspective Instinct

9. The Blame Instinct

10. The Urgency Instinct

The actual world is far better than we think in all the aspects of life , from standard of living to increase in % of life expectancy to decrease in child mortality to good health care system and much more.

When we are asked some factual questions we tend to answer wrong ( most of the times) , because we never updated ourselves. We keep in our mind what was said or taught to us in school about the world but the content in the school books is decades old and the world is changing very fast.

And this book shows as the actual facts about the Changing world ( the present world ). How different is today's world from the world of 1800s or 1900s.
