The book was great. It showed me of how wrong I was about many things. And also that I am not alone.
I am also guilty of thinking in labels like developed and undeveloped world - even though the large majority is somewhere in between. It is eye-opening and also reminds us to constantly check our knowledge about the world. With the Internet, we have access to everything within seconds and we should take advantage of it.

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.

Was für ein selbstverliebter Müll. Der Autor weiß alles besser, ist nur von Idioten umgeben und erklärt uns, dass wir alle keine Ahnung haben. Gute Güte. Nach 1/3 habe ich diesen Schmarrn zur Seite gelegt.
