Behind this initiative are the Nobel Center and the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.<\/h4>\n

“The task of the Nobel Center is to enhance the role of\u00a0science and humanism in society, something that is especially important in periods when facts are not always respected. With this project, we hope that Sweden’s third-year upper secondary students are inspired by the spirit that both Alfred Nobel and Hans Rosling exemplified,” says Anna Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m Douagi, Programme Director at the Nobel Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the book, Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling R\u00f6nnlund explain why students, Nobel Laureates and political leaders are outclassed in a multiple-choice test of general knowledge about the world by the chimpanzees in a zoo. The authors help their readers see the world in a new way. The download project is made possible by funding from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","text_block":"

“The book shatters a number of myths. We hope that this download opportunity will stimulate discussions in Sweden’s upper secondary classrooms about the Importance of facts. The Wallenberg Foundations support research and education in various ways, and this initiative is entirely consistent with the Foundation’s aims,” says Peter Wallenberg Jr, Chairman of the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.<\/p>\n

About the book Factfulness<\/em><\/h4>\n

Students, Nobel Laureates and political leaders \u2013 all of them are outclassed in a multiple-choice test of general knowledge about the world by the chimpanzees in a zoo. Why is this? Driven by a passion for popular education, Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling R\u00f6nnlund seek to change this. In their book Factfulness<\/em>, they explain why we misunderstand global trends, and what we can do to correct our erroneous perceptions. Based on ten concrete mistakes that our brain makes \u2013 including our tendency to divide the world into two camps, our worried attitude towards news and our assumption that things are getting worse over time \u2013 the book analyses how we can break away from our mental errors and become more fact-oriented.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Natur & Kultur, the company that published the book in Swedish, has also produced a teacher’s manual that can be used to create a lesson about the book, thereby making the book easier to use and helping spread the knowledge and the method that has made it world-famous. The teacher’s manual can be downloaded via http:\/\/www.nok.se\/factfulness<\/a>.<\/p>\n
