Think about the world you live in today.

War, violence, poverty, corruption, natural and man-made disasters. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at an alarming rate.

There’s always some sort of mishap in the news. And to make things worse, our leaders don’t even give a shit about us. No wonder poverty is unprecedentedly at its highest record level.

In fact, things are getting worse in general and we’ll soon run out of resources unless we do something drastic about it!

That’s the picture an average person sees in the media and carries around in their heads. An overdramatic view that is so stressful and misleading.

However, I came across a book titled ‘Factfulness’ by Hans Rosling that brought me an immeasurable amount of relief and happiness before I even finished the first chapter.

Here’s what the book looks like.
