The #1 Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller longlisted
for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year. 'A
hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work
off facts rather than our inherent biases' BARACK OBAMA Things
aren't as bad as we think. Fact. At last, a book that puts all the
bad news in perspective- and brings us surprisingly positive data
that show the state of the world has in fact improved over the last
50-200 years. Acclaimed by Bill Gates and Barack Obama, named an
Observer 'best brainy book of the decade' - destined to be a
perennial bestseller and non-fiction classic. (let's make that a
fact!) 'Wonderful . . . a passionate and erudite message that is
all more moving because it comes from beyond the grave . . . His
knack for presentation and delight in statistics come across on
every page. Who else would choose a chart of "guitars per capita"
as a proxy for human progress?' FINANCIAL TIMES 'One of the most
important books I've ever read - an indispensable guide to thinking
clearly about the world.' BILL GATES
