Factfulness
The #1 Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller longlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year.
'A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases' BARACK OBAMA
Things aren't as bad as we think. Fact.
At last, a book that puts all the bad news in perspective- and brings us surprisingly positive data that show the state of the world has in fact improved over the last 50-200 years. Acclaimed by Bill Gates and Barack Obama, named an Observer 'best brainy book of the decade' - destined to be a perennial bestseller and non-fiction classic. (let's make that a fact!)
'Wonderful . . . a passionate and erudite message that is all more moving because it comes from beyond the grave . . . His knack for presentation and delight in statistics come across on every page. Who else would choose a chart of "guitars per capita" as a proxy for human progress?' FINANCIAL TIMES
'One of the most important books I've ever read - an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.' BILL GATES
Factfulness
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.

“This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance…Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Factfulness (Illustrated)
FACTFULNESS: the stress-reducing habit of only having opinions for which there are strong supporting facts.
Things aren't as bad as we think. Fact.
When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, legendary statisticians Hans, Anna and Ola Rosling offer a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective.
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we let the bad news take on outsize proportions 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

How I Learned to Understand the World
The moving, playful memoir of Hans Rosling - Swedish statistics mastermind, researcher extraordinaire and author of the global bestseller, Factfulness.
This is a book that contains very few numbers. Instead, it is about meeting people who have opened my eyes.
It was facts that helped him explain how the world works. But it was curiosity and commitment that made the late Hans Rosling, author of worldwide bestseller Factfulness, the most popular researcher of our time.
How I Learned to Understand the World is Hans Rosling's own story of how a young scientist learned became a revolutionary thinker, and takes us from the swelter of an emergency clinic in Mozambique, to the World Economic Forum at Davos.
In collaboration with Swedish journalist Fanny Hargestam, Hans Rosling wrote his memoir with the same joy of storytelling that made a whole world listen when he spoke.
Prekvapení nádejou
Mnohí ľudia takmer zabudli, čo vzkriesenie naozaj znamená a zamenili túto konečnú a pevnú nádej za vágne a hmlisté predstavy o „posmrtnom“ živote. Ty´m sa však z nášho života stráca nielen konečná nádej Božieho nového stvorenia a nášho miesta v ňom, ale aj jasny´ pohľad na realitu, v ktorej práve žijeme, a ktorá umožňuje túto nádej. V skratke, kresťanské evanjelium potvrdzuje starovekú židovskú vieru o Bohu, ktory´ stvoril svet ako dobry´ a krásny, a chce ho obnoviť a dokončiť s ním svoj pôvodny´ zámer. Veľa kresťanov podľahlo presvedčeniu, že súčasny´ svet vôbec nie je „dobry´“ a najlepšie je z neho uniknúť. Vzkriesenie hlása úplne opačny´ pohľad: keď Ježiš s Nazareta vstal z mŕtvych, živy´ Boh ty´m povedal áno všetkému dobru stvorenstva a spustil plán jeho záchrany a transformácie. Kniha Prekvapení nádejou preto nie je len o konečnej nádeji, ktorá je samozrejme kľúčová, ale je aj o tom, čo vzkriesenie Ježiša Krista znamená pre náš život a naše poslanie tu a teraz. So srdečny´m pozdravom a prianím Nádeje.
N. T. Wright (1948) je popredny´ novozákonny´ teológ a svetovy´ odborník na dejiny raného kresťanstva. V súčasnosti pôsobí ako profesor Novej Zmluvy a raného kresťanstva na Teologickej fakulte Univerzity St. Andrews v Škótsku. Tom Wright v minulosti slúžil ako biskup diecézy Anglikánskej cirkvi v Durhame a pôsobil na vy´značny´ch univerzitách v Oxforde, Cambridge, McGill v Toronte a iny´ch. Svojím vplyvom ďaleko prekročil hranice vlastnej anglikánskej tradície a jeho dielo s veľky´m záujmom čítajú ľudia z protestantského aj katolíckeho prostredia. Okrem knihy Prekvapení nádejou napísal viac ako 35 odborny´ch a populárnych kníh, napríklad Simply Christian, How God Became King, Simply Good News a iné. Svoj celoživotny´ vy´skum teológie apoštola Pavla zhrnul v monumentálnom diele Paul and the Faithfulness of God.

The Princess of Cleves
La Princesse de Cleves is a French novel, regarded by many as one of the first European novels, and a classic of its era. Its author is most often held to be Madame de La Fayette.Published anonymously in March 1678, and set a century earlier in the royal court of Henry II of France, it recreates that era with remarkable precision. Nearly every character – except the heroine – is a historic figure. Events and intrigues unfold with great faithfulness to documentary record.

Truth
'Macdonald zeros in on the slipperiness of factuality, offering an array of case studies from the worlds of history, commerce and - of course - politics.' New York Times
True or false? It's rarely that simple.
There is always more than one truth in every story. Eating meat is nutritious but it's also damaging to the environment. The Internet disseminates knowledge but it also spreads hatred. As communicators, we select the truths that are most useful to our agenda.
We can select truths constructively to inspire nations, encourage children, and drive progressive change. Or we can select truths that give a false impression of reality, misleading people without actually lying. Others can do the same, motivating or deceiving us with the truth.
In Truth, communications strategy expert Hector Macdonald explores how truth is used and abused in politics, business, the media and everyday life. Combining great storytelling with practical takeaways and a litany of fascinating, funny and insightful case studies, Truth is a chilling and engaging read about how profoundly our mindsets and actions are influenced by the truths that those around us choose to tell.
For fans of Factfulness, A Field Guide to Lies and Statistics and The Art of Thinking Clearly, a fascinating dive into the many ways in which `competing truths' shape our opinions, behaviours and beliefs.
