Considering the rave reviews the book has gotten, I was excited to read it. But it disappointed at first, as it appeared to cover a number of human biases that have already been well-documented on this site (for example, through other books). But the deeper I got into the book, the better it became. The points Rosling was making became more unique, but outshining his points were his real-life examples demonstrating the importance of the points. I learned a lot about different countries and cultures thanks to Roslings first-hand experience as a doctor and researcher.
If you are a student of human biases, or have questions about the state of the world, Factfulness is a must-read.
