Hans Rosling in Factfulness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read Factfulness<\/a> twice and it definitely was the top book I read in 2020. I quoted it numerous times on the blog and I could easily find another ten quotes. See one above. Link to many more Factfulness quotes<\/a>. Rosling studies the data. He doesn’t try to make the data fit the narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I may have first read it in 2019 but I got two of my book clubs to read it in 2020 so I read it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phot is Sunset on Monday night from my balcony. Life is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
