I think this is a must read - yes there are some things to be criticized about this book - but all in all it is one of the best books I've ever read and it really helps understanding global development tendencies as well as overthinking one's own mindset.

Passionate book about getting your facts straight first, THEN forming an opinion. Includes lots of practical tips to help you see through misinformation and fearmongering. Rosling will surely be missed by many.

Incredible read. Helps to move the focus from a single (negative or even horrible) event to a more mid- or long term focus. And in the long run almost everything is improving. Just keep working to make things better!
