'A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.' BARACK OBAMATimely, short and essential, FACTFULNESS reveals the power of facts in a post-truth world, by late international sensation Hans Rosling ('a true inspiration' - Bill Gates) and his long-term collaborators Ola and Anna.
Andrew Jenkins takes the reader on a journey of exploration through the development of what he calls the 'acquired self', and how, by making use of the extraordinary plasticity of our brains, we can re-educate our thoughts and behaviours and return to our 'authentic selves' - and have happy, effective and fulfilled lives.
