Factfulness is written in my voice, as if by me alone, and tells many stories from my life. But please don’t be misled. Just as the TED talks and lectures I have given all over the world for the past ten years, this book is the work of three people, not one. I am usually the frontman.
I stand onstage and deliver the lectures. And I received applause. But everything you hear in my lectures, and everything you read in this book, is the output of eighteen years of intense collaboration between me, my son Ola Rosling, and my daughter-in-law Anna Rosling Rönnlund. In 2005, we founded the Gapminder Foundation, with a mission to fight devastating ignorance with a fact-based worldview.
I brought energy, curiosity, and a lifetime of experience as a doctor, a researcher, and a lecturer in global health. Ola and Anna were responsible for the data analysis, inventive visual explanations, data stories, and simple presentation design. It was their idea to measure ignorance systematically, and they designed and programmed our beautiful animated bubble charts.
Dollar Street, a way of using photographs as data to explain the world, was Anna’s brainchild. While I was getting ever angrier about people’s ignorance about the world, Ola and Anna instead took the analysis beyond anger and crystallized the humble and relaxing idea of Factfulness. Together, we defined the practical thinking tools that we present in this book.
