đź“– What?
Join us for a beer (or any other drink) and a nice discussion at our next UX/UI book club. This time we are talking about "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling.
### Why We’re Wrong About the World (and Why That’s Good News)
The Book: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling.
The Hook: When asked simple questions about global trends—like "How many girls finish primary school?" or "How has the number of deaths from natural disasters changed?"—most people get the answers spectacularly wrong. In fact, Hans Rosling’s research shows that investment bankers, professors, and even Nobel laureates score worse than chimpanzees choosing answers at random.
But why? Are we just pessimistic? Or is our hardware outdated?
What we’ll be discussing: In our next session, we’re diving into Factfulness, the book Bill Gates called "one of the most important books I’ve ever read." Rosling, a legendary global health expert, doesn't just give us a pep talk; he gives us a toolkit. He identifies the 10 dramatic instincts—from our tendency to split the world into "us vs. them" to our obsession with "straight lines"—that distort our perception of reality.
Why you should join this session: This isn't just a book about statistics. It’s a book about how to think.
You can read the book beforehand or just chat with us about the topic and join us for a drink.
