It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.

It was amazing

Very interesting read. Turns out, many basic facts about the world I knew were outdated. The book is well-written and teaches a dozen of tricks on how to make better decisions. The book's website is nice too: www.gapminder.org
