In a world of distorted facts, the frames this book gives you are a gamechanger. | I just finished reading Factfulness — if you read just one nonfiction book this year, this should be it. A clearheaded, useful book on seeing the whole world more rationally. Plus it's hard to put down. And, the data viz is A++ | I read Factfullness. Anyone who doesn't know the facts in it should read it both for its optimistic take and the mental habits it encourages. But then you should extend those same habits to the many less positive facts omitted by the book. My review | If you haven't read the book, I very much recommend it. ? Here is the book's site: ? On Amazon it has been rated very well by 3,691 readers. For the Kindle it costs only $2.99 | If you haven't read the book, I very much recommend it. – Here is the book's site: – On Amazon it has been rated very well by 3,691 readers. For the Kindle it costs only $2.99 | If you read only one book this year, may it be Hans, Anna and Ola Rosling’s Factfullness. Literally mindblowing in today’s world of distorted facts. Ten reasons, backed by examples and facts, on why the world is a better place than our brains might want to think. @OlaRosling | Just finished this amazing, thoughtful & comforting book. I hope you’ll read it. Devastated to read the “outro” that Hans passed away before it was published. Somehow I didn’t know until the end. | These two books should be required reading in high school There is so much about the world that needs fixing, and those issues get their due attention But there are so many REMARKABLE improvements in the quality of human life, too The optimist framing is invaluable | Unmasks a lot of misperceptions that people have about the state of the world.”

Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.”
