Our book club recently read “Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think” by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, and Anna Rosling Rönnlund. Although the book was written pre-pandemic, we found the lessons about our cognitive biases and the strategies for adjusting our perspectives are, perhaps, more important now than ever. The authors present ten “instincts” that impact the way we see the world and provide strategies to help us think more clearly.
We discussed if we felt the book was overly optimistic but, ultimately, we felt that the data-driven approach is compelling enough to make us re-examine our assumptions. Going forward, we felt the book provides good guidance for thinking critically about the “facts” we hear everyday. As we look to navigate through the barrage of media we all experience daily, understanding our instinctual biases can only be helpful in avoiding common pitfalls and making better decisions.
