In this podcast episode, we discuss the book "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling and its key themes, including challenging misconceptions and adopting a fact-based understanding of global trends. The episode delves into the "negativity bias," a psychological phenomenon that leads us to perceive the world as more negative than it is. We explore its implications on decision-making, policy-making, and public opinion and discuss how "Factfulness" counters this bias with data-driven evidence. Teia takes the quiz, and as we all know Teia by now, her results are unsurprising!
