Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World—And Why Things Are Better Than You Think, written by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, was published by Flatiron Books in 2018. This book examines how people across cultures view the world through a negative lens, which leads them to believe conditions everywhere are declining. Doctor and global health expert Hans Rosling offers research and anecdotes from his medical experience and his lectures to unpack the reasons for this universal mindset. Though the book was published under Hans Rosling’s name, the book comprises the collective thoughts, experiences, and findings of Hans, as well as those of his son Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, his daughter-in-law.Hans Rosling, a Swedish doctor, discovered the trend of global ignorance in the mid 1990’s. After learning that his class of advanced medical students had very wrong misconceptions about the world, he set out to test if the same misconceptions persisted in other groups. Rosling compiled a list of thirteen easy-to-answer, fact-based questions about economic, medical, and environmental progress. No matter his audience (politicians, scientists, or the average person on the street of any country), people, without fail, scored worse on Rosling’s test than chimpanzees picking answers at random. Rosling considered the fact that people often have outdated world views as well as poor access to information, which leads to incorrect hypotheses; finally, Rosling concluded the general population’s systematic ignorance came down to a widespread overdramatic worldview.
