Long-Read of the Week
In sustainability, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by global challenges. But what if our view of the world is more negative than reality?
Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World – And Why Things Are Better Than You Think, by Hans Rosling, challenges our misconceptions with data-driven optimism.
Using engaging stories and surprising statistics, Rosling reveals how human progress is often hidden by bias, fear, and outdated narratives.
"When we have a fact-based worldview, we can see that the world is not as bad as it seems—and we can focus on the real challenges that remain."
A must-read for sustainability professionals looking to cut through doom and gloom, think critically, and drive solutions grounded in reality.
