內容簡介

  比爾‧蓋茲2018年度選書
  「我所讀過最重要的書之一,帶領你清晰思考世界的必備指南。」──比爾‧蓋茲

  ★出版即登上各國暢銷榜,Amazon非文學類書籍第1名
  ★十度登上TED大會演說,知名公共教育家漢斯.羅斯林的唯一著作
  ★一本讓比爾蓋茲從此不再使用「開發中國家」名詞的書,送給全美大學生的畢業禮物
 
  「我窮盡畢生之力抵抗全球的無知,傳播基於事實的世界觀。
  這本書是我的最後一役,是我設法影響世界的最後努力。」──漢斯.羅斯林

  有些事儘管牴觸我們的直覺認知,儘管顯得絕無可能,卻仍然真確。
  這本書在談世界,在談世界真正的樣子,
  也是在談你,以及你該如何真確思考,基於事實行動。

  我們總希望可以客觀看待事情,針對世界現狀的簡單問題,例如「全球有多少人口享有電力」「有多少一歲孩童接種疫苗」「有多少比例的女孩讀完小學」,也希望能提出正確的觀察。
  
  但事實上,我們一再地給出錯誤的結論,而且錯得離譜,連隨機亂答的黑猩猩,正確率都贏過老師、記者、投資銀行家和諾貝爾獎得主。這到底是怎麼一回事?

  在這本書裡,全球公衛教授和公共教育家漢斯.羅斯林,提出為什麼會發生這種事的新解釋──原來問題在於人們對自己的無知毫無頭緒,我們的思考往往受到不自覺且可預期的直覺偏誤所影響。

  漢斯致力運用活潑的數據實證,改變人們的思維方式。

  他舉出十個扭曲認知的直覺,如何造成我們誤解身處的世界,例如:我們有傾向把世界分成兩個陣營的「二分化直覺」(通常是某種版本的「我們」和「他們」),我們吸收訊息的方式深受「恐懼型直覺」主宰(災害新聞空前常見,偏偏世界空前安全)、對於進步的認知容易受「負面型直覺」牽引(相信多數事情正變得更糟,忽視逐漸的進步),並提出一個個明確可執行的思考工具,告訴大家如何扭轉根深柢固的偏見。

  這是一本深具啟發性的書,足以改變你看世界的方式,帶領你建立新的思維習慣。基於真實認知的世界觀,國際組織能把有限的資源,運用得更有效率,企業能運籌帷幄,找出未來的商機,我們也能懷抱更少擔憂,看見更多希望。

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"One of the most important books I''ve ever read--an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world." - Bill Gates

"Hans Rosling tells the story of ''the secret silent miracle of human progress'' as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly." --Melinda Gates

"Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama

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.
