Factfulness - by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund

The full title of the book is Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.

And yes this is a really good book about how and why we as humans tend to see things in a certain way even though it might be the complete opposite.

Unfortunately, the author passed away during writing this book but the family took his work and proceeded with a well-written piece. Even though there are a lot of statistics the book is accessible for everybody. Everything is explained well.

If you want to have an overview of all the concepts there is this really great summary by gapminder: https://www.gapminder.org/factfulness/
