*****************************
★The four-income-level framework that Hans explains is exactly what I have been thinking about for decades as I have been committed to global causes, but I have never expressed it as clearly and accurately as Hans. I will use the model of "Facts" to advance my work in the future. - Bill Gates
★ Hans tells us the miracle of human progress quietly and silently, as only he can do. But "Facts" does much more than that, it also explains why progress is often unknown and teaches readers how to clearly discover it. - Melinda Gates
★ "Facts" contains rich data, but it is quite easy to read. It corrects our view of the world and explains how the way we think leads us to misunderstand the world. - Steven Pinker (author of the best-selling book "The Better Angels of Our Nature")
★ "Facts" provides a simple and practical navigation tool for this complex world and is a real antidote to negativity and despair. - "Nature"
★In Hans' hands, data sings. Global health and economic trends become vivid. The big picture of global development is revealed before our eyes, delivering some surprising good news. ——TED
★Excellent... Hans' life's work is here, full of passion and knowledge... His presentation skills and love of data are evident on every page. Who else would choose a chart of "guitars per capita" as a proxy for human progress? - Financial Times
★In this era of global anxiety, such an inspiring book has appeared. ——Christina Hardman, The Times

【Content Introduction】
Avoid emotional decision making!
Recognize your emotional instincts, make corresponding changes, get rid of irrational troubles, and reinvest your energy into constructive behaviors!
--------------------------------
◆Avoid dichotomy: The world should no longer be divided into developed and developing countries. Most countries are middle-income countries, and this traditional classification method can easily make you lose potential markets in modern society;
◆Avoid generalizing: In some city streets, you will see many half-built houses. It is easy to think that this is because the people who built the houses lost their financial support or did not have a plan. In fact, this is a smart way for the owners of the houses to store their wealth;
◆Avoid a single perspective: The United States ranks first in the world in per capita health expenditure. However, the United States is not the country with the longest life expectancy in the world. The average life expectancy in the United States ranks only 40th;
◆Avoid panic: "You must act now, otherwise it will be too late!" This sentence will only bring pressure and anxiety. In most cases, we do not need to take action immediately, and there will still be opportunities in the future.
--------------------------------
Once you have the way of thinking provided by "Facts", you can: stay away from anxiety, become optimistic, full of hope, become rational, discover potential business opportunities, and make effective decisions.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Hans Rosling (1948-2017) was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1948. He is the founder of the "Enlighten People" Foundation and one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time magazine. He has served as a consultant to the World Health Organization, UNICEF and other aid agencies. In 1997, Hans began teaching at the Karolinska Institute. He found that students with higher education had great misunderstandings about the world, and their thoughts and decisions were quite emotional. So he took to the TED speech stage and used dynamic data images to vividly show the real changes that the world is experiencing, involving population, economy, environment and other topics that have attracted much attention but have never been truly understood. His speech videos have received tens of millions of hits, and each speech has been well received by the media and praised by people: "Data sings in Hans' hands." Many years later, Hans decided to write his lifelong thoughts into a book. At the last moment of his life, he was still revising the manuscript repeatedly, striving to better show people the way of thinking and the way of thinking about the world that he had been pursuing all his life.
Euler Rosling, co-founder of the "Opening People's Mind" Foundation and son of Hans. Euler provided data and materials for Hans' TED talks and lectures. Euler led the development of the famous animated bubble chart tool "Trendalyzer". In 2007, the tool was acquired by Google.
Anna Roslin Roland, one of the co-founders of the "Open People's Mind" Foundation and Euler's wife. Anna assisted Euler in coaching Hans' speeches and developing "Income Street".
