Book Club - 17 April 2023

At this month's Book Club we will be reading a non-fiction Factfulness by Hans Rosling.

Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World—And Why Things Are Better Than You Think explores the misconceptions that color our view of the world. Whether it’s global poverty, epidemics, war, or terrorism, we tend to have a dramatic, negative view of the world: that things are worse than they’ve ever been and they’re getting worse all the time. But this view is wrong! By almost any measure, there’s never been a better time to be alive than right now.

The book walks us through ten instincts that distort how we understand global problems, and offers solutions for overcoming these instincts—turning our dramatic worldview into a factful one.

Join us at the Bradfield Centre at 12:30pm to discuss alongside tea, coffee and biscuits!
