Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong about the World--And Why Things Are Better Than You Think www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Better/dp/1250123828/This is one of those books, like "Guns, Germs, and Steel", that I occasionally keep remembering and referring to. I don't remember the specifics, and often have to do a Google search to even come up with the name, remembering that it had a foreword by Bill Gates. But Hans Rosling uses the facts to look at what has generally improved over the years, even if many think things are worse now than they used to be. It's helpful to read, especially when events pile up to make it seem things are bad. I don't have much more to say about it, other than I'll put it on my very limited list of books that I should reread.
