Hans Rosling

“The world cannot be understood by dividing it into rich and poor. Most people now live in the middle.”

“Bad and better can be true at the same time. Progress is not a reason to relax; it is a reason to keep working.”

“The fear instinct makes rare, vivid events feel more common than slow, quiet improvements.”

“Before accepting a dramatic story, ask for the comparison, the denominator, and the trend line.”

“A fact-based worldview is a stress reducer. It replaces panic with proportion.”

“Humility and curiosity are the two habits that keep your worldview from expiring.”
