Factfullness is a book that demonstrates Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than We Think. It gives several examples of population dynamics, economics, climate change, politics, and many more and shows the statement's truth. The author establishes with facts and figures and the help of many charts how we have come a long and better way in poverty alleviation, education, health, and many other social indicators.

For example, the poverty level of the people was 85 percent in the 1800s and now (2018) it has come down to just 9% which is just phenomenal and unbelievable according to the author(s). It remained at around the same level for thousands of years and only in the last 200 years the increase had been made possible. Likewise, the author gives a lot of information with statistical data.

This book is suitable for anyone interested in discovering and improving their way of thinking. Unfortunately, our mind is not infallible, on the contrary, it is systematically an unaware victim of irrational mechanisms far from logic. The consequences can be disastrous, not only in the economic sphere. Divided into 99 micro chapters, each addressed with lots of examples, it reports the most common mistakes in the decision-making process. Required reading for those in decision-making and managerial positions.

No matter how much you have already invested, only your assessment of the future costs and benefits counts.
