    10 redenen waarom we een verkeerd beeld van de wereld hebben en waarom het beter gaat dan je denkt

    'Een van de belangrijkste boeken die ik ooit heb gelezen.' Bill Gates – Al meer dan 35.000 keer verkocht! 'Iedereen zou dit boek moeten lezen.' de Volkskrant Op eenvoudige vragen over wereldwijde trends geven we systematisch de verkeerde antwoorden. In Feitenkennis legt hoogleraar Internationale Gezondheid en wereldfenomeen Hans Rosling uit waarom dit gebeurt. Hij presenteert daarbij tien redenen en komt zo met een radicaal nieuwe verklaring. Ons probleem is dat we niet weten wat we niet weten, en dat zelfs onze gissingen gebaseerd zijn op vooroordelen. Het blijkt dat onze wereld in een veel betere staat verkeert dan we denken. Feitenkennis zit boordevol anekdotes, aangrijpende verhalen en Roslings kenmerkende grafieken. Het is een inspirerend, onthullend en essentieel boek dat de manier waarop je de wereld ziet compleet zal veranderen. 'Feitenkennis zorgt ervoor dat je zowel meer realistisch als meer hoopvol naar de wereld kijkt. Een geweldig en belangrijk boek.' Ionica Smeets 'Zijn laatste boek over denkfouten zou iedereen moeten lezen.' Martijn van Calmthout
