Bøger af Hans Rosling

FACTFULNESS handler om verden, og hvordan vi kan blive bedre til at forstå den, som den virkelig er. Når man stiller folk simple spørgsmål om globale tendenser, giver de altid de forkerte svar. Hvor mange piger går for eksempel i skole? Hvor stor vil Jordens befolkning være i 2050? Og lever størstedelen i rige eller fattige lande? I FACTFULNESS viser Hans Rosling sammen med Ola Rosling og Anna Rosling Rönnlund, hvorfor misforståelserne sker. De beskriver 10 fundamentale menneskelige instinkter, som konsekvent forhindrer os i at have et faktabaseret verdenssyn. Læs denne bog, og dit syn på verden vil blive forandret for altid. "En af de vigtigste bøger jeg nogensinde har læst - en uundværlig vejledning i at tænke klart om verden." Bill Gates

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"e;One of the most important books I've ever read-an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world."e; - Bill Gates"e;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."e; -Melinda Gates"e;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."e; - Former U.S. President Barack ObamaFactfulness: 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. ---"e;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."e; Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Hans Rosling, Kultautor von FACTFULNESS und "Popstar der Vernunft" (Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin), erzählt in seiner Autobiografie, wie er Schritt für Schritt eigene Vorurteile überwand und durch echte FACTFULNESS ein Kämpfer für eine bessere und gerechtere Welt wurde.Hans Rosling wurde nicht als FACTFUL MAN geboren: Aufgewachsen in ärmlichen Verhältnissen, ging er als junger Arzt zunächst nach Mosambik. Seine Arbeit im Krankenhaus sowie Begegnungen mit Bewohnern abgelegener afrikanischer Dörfer wurden zur Initialzündung für sein späteres Handeln. Vorlesungen vor Studierenden in Stockholm, Vorträge auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos, Freundschaften wie mit Melinda und Bill Gates oder Gespräche mit dem Revolutionsführer Fidel Castro bestärkten ihn in seiner Botschaft: Wir müssen unser vermeintliches Wissen über den Zustand der Welt hinterfragen und uns den Fakten zuwenden – die Wirklichkeit ist oft viel besser als wir glauben.Hans Rosling war Professor für Internationale Gesundheit am `Karolinska Institutet´ und Direktor der Gapminder-Stiftung in Stockholm. Er war zudem Gründungsmitglied von `Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V.´ in Schweden.Fanny Härgestam, geboren 1983, lebt als Journalistin in Paris.
