My Review:

A compelling case for why the world is actually a much better place than most of us think it is. He argues that our perceptions of the world are often skewed by a variety of cognitive biases and misconceptions, and that we are therefore often overly pessimistic about the state of the world.

One of the key lessons of the book is that we should be more mindful of the data and evidence that is available to us, and that we should be more skeptical of the sensationalized stories and statistics that we often hear in the media. Rosling also makes a strong case for why we should be more optimistic about the future, and why we should be more proactive in working to address the many challenges that we still face as a global community.

The author uses data and statistics to show the real state of the world. He argues that the world is not as bad as we think it is, but we should not be complacent either. He shows that many areas such as health and education have improved, but there is still much work to be done.

The book is a call to action, to change our perceptions, and to be more proactive in solving problems. It encourages us to be more mindful of the data we consume and to be more optimistic about the future.
