Dive into the fascinating world of storytelling with Dr Simon Raybould, as he unravels the power behind the stories we tell.

If you want to make a difference, embrace storytelling with substance. KEY TAKEAWAY ‘If it inspires you at all, that inspiration lasts no more than a few minutes biochemically and a few hours psychologically and maybe at best, a few days behaviourally.'   BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS* Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund - https://amzn.eu/d/0uADPtO StoryMaking by Dr Simon Raybould - https://amzn.eu/d/1i7yrJK   ABOUT SIMON Simon Raybould began his career as a university researcher, with his PhD focusing on environmental factors that may contribute to childhood leukaemia. His work was primarily rooted in complex statistical analysis rather than medicine and he and his colleagues made significant progress in understanding how to prevent the disease. He went on to spend over 24 years as a professional researcher in academia. Beyond research, Simon has worked as an actor, lighting designer and even a fire-eater. His diverse experiences led to a keen interest in communication particularly in conveying complex research findings to politicians and policymakers in a clear, accessible and unambiguous manner, often in high-pressure situations. This meticulous attention to precision and clarity now underpins his work as a trainer, speaker and author, ensuring that his insights are both rigorous and easily understood.

Chapter 1 What's FactfulnessFactfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think is a book written by Swedish statistician Hans Rosling, along with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Rosling Rönnlund. The book explores common misconceptions people have about the world and provides a fact-based perspective on various global issues. It seeks to challenge pessimistic views and highlight positive progress by presenting reliable data and statistics. Factfulness offers readers a more accurate and realistic understanding of the world we live in.Chapter 2 Why is Factfulness Worth ReadFactfulness by Hans Rosling is worth reading because it offers a refreshing perspective on the state of the world and helps readers develop a more accurate understanding of global trends and challenges. Here are some key reasons why the book is worth reading:1. Data-driven insights: Rosling, a renowned statistician and public health expert, presents an abundance of data and evidence to debunk common misconceptions surrounding global issues. He uses clear and accessible graphs, charts, and visual aids to convey complex information effectively.2. Challenging biases: The book prompts readers to question their preconceived notions and biases about the world. Rosling argues that many people have a pessimistic view of global progress, often due to outdated information or media coverage that focuses on negative events. Factfulness challenges these biases and highlights the significant improvements happening globally.3. Optimistic outlook: Rosling emphasizes the progress humanity has made across various sectors, such as health, education, and living standards, and provides a more optimistic outlook on the future. This perspective can help counterbalance the prevailing negativity and doom-and-gloom narratives that often dominate public discourse.4. Understanding complexity: Rosling encourages readers to think critically and consider the complexity of global issues. He explains the importance of avoiding generalizations, recognizing the diversity within countries, and understanding that progress is not linear. This nuanced approach helps readers develop a more accurate understanding of the world's complexities.5. Practical advice: The book provides practical advice on how to evaluate information, validate sources, and navigate the deluge of data and news in the modern world. Rosling's toolkit for critical thinking equips readers with skills to become more factful, helping them make better-informed decisions and participate more effectively in public debates.Overall, Factfulness is worth reading because it challenges misconceptions, offers data-driven insights, promotes critical thinking, and presents a more optimistic and nuanced view of the world. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a more accurate understanding of global trends and a useful guide for navigating the flood of information in the digital age.Chapter 3 Factfulness SummaryFactfulness by Hans Rosling is a book that presents a new and refreshing perspective on global development and challenges commonly held beliefs about the state of the world. Rosling, a renowned Swedish statistician and public health expert, aims to dispel misconceptions and highlight the progress and possibilities that exist in today's world.The book begins by examining the pervasive negativity bias that is present in our society, which leads us to believe that things are worse than they actually are. Rosling reveals that people tend to hold outdated and exaggerated ideas about global issues such as poverty, population growth, and education. He argues that these misconceptions hinder our ability to accurately assess the world...

Die Welt ist schlecht, alles wird immer schlimmer und wir können daran sowieso nichts ändern? Dieser Eindruck entsteht leicht, wenn wir uns die Nachrichten anschauen. Aber er entspricht gar nicht der Wirklichkeit. Im Gegenteil: Vieles wird besser! Diese positiven Entwicklungen und Errungenschaften nehmen wir aber oft gar nicht wahr und sehen die Welt dramatischer und hoffnungsloser, als sie tatsächlich ist. Ein realistischer Blick kann uns helfen, Zuversicht zu gewinnen und selbst aktiv zu werden.

BIO: Anna Rosling Rönnlund is a Swedish designer who, with her husband Ola Rosling, developed Trendalyzer, interactive software for visualizing statistical information.STORY: Anna and her husband bought a home after moving to the US. A while later, they had to move back to Sweden, so they decided to sell the house. This was during the financial crisis that hit the real estate market badly. So the couple lost a lot of money after the sale.LEARNING: Keep your costs low. You don't always have to buy a home. “Spending time doing things you love is the best investment ever.”Anna Rosling Rönnlund Guest profileAnna Rosling Rönnlund is a Swedish designer who, with her husband Ola Rosling, developed Trendalyzer, interactive software for visualizing statistical information. In 2005, with statistician and father-in-law Hans Rosling, she co-founded the Gapminder Foundation, where she serves as vice president for design and usability. In 2016, she announced Dollar Street, a website that imagines a street of homes to help visualize how people of varying cultures and incomes live around the world. In 2017, she collaborated with Hans Rosling on his book, Factfulness.Worst investment everAnna and her husband moved to the US, where they were both working at Google. They decided to look for a place to stay close to the office. The couple had sold their apartment in Sweden, so they had some cash to purchase a house. They bought their home just before the real estate market crashed and then moved back to Sweden after it crashed. They decided to sell the house and lost quite a lot of money.The home was just a few miles from where Facebook was building its new headquarters. Had the couple held onto the house for just a year or two after moving back to Sweden, they'd have gained quite a lot of money.Lessons learnedWhen investing, start from your dream or passion and then gradually diversify to other things.Keep your costs low, but still enjoy life, and make sure you do things you like—it doesn't have to cost a lot.Andrew's takeawaysOne way to protect yourself is to keep your costs really low.You don't have to buy a house, especially when you're moving to a new city.Property can fall, and you lose for a while, but in the long run, it eventually comes back.Actionable adviceIf you're not going to stay in a home for a very long time, don't buy it—rent instead.Anna's recommended resourceAnna recommends reading Factfulness because it's all about how to make sense of the world. It gives you a general overview of the biggest trends and proportions to make better decisions in life and work.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsAnna's number one goal for the next 12 months is to add the questions received from the general public and interactive video-led courses, the Worldview Upgrader. This is a tool she developed for people to check their knowledge and upgrade their worldview.Parting words “Good luck with your investments, and make decisions based on...

0:00 -- Intro.1:38 -- Start of interview.2:06 -- Nora's "origin story". 4:33 -- How she got started on her board journey. 6:25 --  The distinctions between serving on advisory boards and private venture-backed company boards.11:27 --  On serving on non-profit company boards. Nora has served on the boards of NACD, YWCA of Silicon Valley and the Anita Borg Institute.13:50 -- On serving on private equity (PE) backed company boards. *Prof Ron Gilson's article on Boards 3.0.16:34 -- On serving on public company boards. The evolution of shareholder primacy vs stakeholder capitalism.18:05 -- Distinctions between serving on U.S. boards vs international boards. "The 'what' is very similar or the same, however the biggest distinction is the 'how'." "When I started on my first board in Europe 10 years ago there was a strong focus on 'double materiality' (a more stakeholder driven approach) which was not discussed on US boards." Nora currently serves on boards of Ericson and SUSE Linux. Thoughts on employees serving on boards.23:17 -- The new NACD report "The Future of the American Board" (released on Sept 27, 2022). Nora served as one of the Commissioners for this report. "This initiative was created to reassess and, where needed, redefine the effectiveness of the board in response to the seismic societal, economic, technology and climate changes affecting business. "NACD established a diverse, influential group of directors and notable governance practitioners drawn from the investor, regulatory and academic communities to issue guiding principles that will help boards achieve high performance in a much more turbulent future."26:21 -- Why all the principles flow from Principle #1: Corporate Purpose. "Shareholders are value based, not values based." "The noise is in the media."34:02  -- Thoughts on founder-control and dual-class share structures in tech companies. "It serves a purpose at a certain time, but once you meet a threshold is it really that important? It's not one-size-fits-all. Maybe it's milestone-based or time-based sunsets." *CII's "reasonable 7-year sunset provision" position.38:53  -- On the rise of ESG and more recent "anti-ESG" movement.  "The investors are doing what's right in the long term, and I think it will prevail in the long term." 41:51  -- On the growing influence of large institutional investors in corporate governance. "Communication [both during and outside the proxy season] is the key, these investors (and the companies) are rational."44:05 -- On the evolution of boardroom diversity. "Europe took the lead with quotas, and their representation of women on boards was surpassing the U.S." "This year about 500 board positions opened up and ~50% went to diverse (gender and minorities) candidates." "Boards are valuing heterogeneous composition."46:29 -- The books she recommends: Factfulness, by Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund and Ola Rosling (2018)Talent, Strategy, Risk, by Dennis C Carey, Bill McNabb and Ram Charan (2021)NACD's "The Future of the American Board" (2022)47:25 -- Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? Lynn M. Yates, her first mentor at IBM.48:19 -- Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by? "Everyone dies, but not everyone Lives" (you want to Live with a capital L)50:23 --  An unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love: "I'm extraordinarily talented at finding things that I'm not extraordinarily talented at." 52:55 --  The person(s) she most admires: after pandemic, the front line workers.Nora Denzel is a Silicon Valley technology executive who has served on eight public company boards and is currently an independent director of AMD, Ericsson, SUSE Linux and NortonLifeLock.

Buch: Factfulness I Autoren: Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund   Tatsächlich lebt die große Mehrheit der Weltbevölkerung irgendwo in der Mitte der Einkommensskala. Vielleicht gehören sie nicht zur Mittelschicht, aber sie leben auch nicht in extremer Armut. Ihre Mädchen gehen zur Schule, ihre Kinder werden geimpft, sie leben in Zwei-Kind-Familien, und sie wollen im Ausland Urlaub machen, nicht als Flüchtlinge. Schritt für Schritt, Jahr für Jahr, wird die Welt besser. - Hans Rosling   In Growth Library Podcast Episode 84. sprechen wir über die letzten 4 Instinkte, welche heutzutage immer mehr an Relevanz gewinnen, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der immer stärker werdenden Informationsdichte.

Buch: Factfulness I Autoren: Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund   Factfulness beschreibt ein Bewußtsein, das in unserer Zeit, die sich so unsicher anfühlt, wichtiger ist denn je. Es geht darum, die Welt anhand nachprüfbarer Fakten zu beurteilen - statt auf jeden Meinungstrend der Medien aufzuspringen oder sich auf Gefühle oder jahrzehntealte Glaubenssätze zu verlassen. Hans Rosling zeichnet in seinem Buch ein Bild unserer Welt, das zeigt, wie sie wirklich ist.   In Growth Library Podcast Episode 83. sprechen wir über 3 weitere Instinkte, welche früher vor allem unseren Vorfahren das Überleben sicherte, heute sollte man diese Verhaltensweisen jedoch kritisch hinterfragen.

Wir haben ein komplett falsches Bild von der Welt. Genauer gesagt haben wir ein überdramatisiertes Weltbild - so Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund und Ola Rosling in ihrem Buch "Factfulness". Woran das liegt und warum unsere Welt tatsächlich viel besser ist als wir denken, schauen wir uns in der heutigen Buchzusammenfassung an :)

Good morning Motivated Ninjas! Thank you for tuning in to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast.  Today we have a book review and it's called "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Ola Rosling. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective―from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).

Aufgrund der angespannten Corona-Lage gibt es wieder einen neuen Beitrag von Matthias Horx, dessen Blick in die Zukunft und auf all das Erreichte, unabhängig von Corona, ich immer sehr wohltuend finde. Dennoch meine große Bitte. Lass Dich Impfen. Hol Dir die Auffrischung. Und halt nochmal durch, auch wenn erneute Einschränkungen nicht schön sind. Gesellschaft vor Individualismus. Wissenschaftlich fundierte Fakten vor Meinungen und Gefühlen. Der nachfolgende Text stammt aus der Zukunfts-Kolumne von Matthias Horx: www.horx.com/die-zukunfts-kolumne Siehe auch: www.zukunftsinstitut.de. Eine kleine Zukunfts-Meditation © Julian Horx, www.julian-horx.com Nun ist es wieder passiert. Zu grauen und nebeligen Tagen hebt wieder der große Angst- und Schreckens-Gesang an, diesmal mehr mit Wut vermischt. Viele Menschen fallen wieder in einen Taumel von Angst und Verwirrung. von Vorwurf und Verzweiflung. Wir kehren in die Spirale des destruktiven Streits zurück. Destruktiver Streit, wie wir ihn heute wieder über Corona pflegen, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass man in innerhalb des Streites nicht mehr weiterkommt. Man tappt sozusagen im Nebel. Destruktiver Streit basiert auf dem Prinzip des Gegenruhms: Eine endlose Mühle von Meinungen und Schuldzuweisungen, die in sich selbst festgefahren sind und sich gegenseitig hochschaukeln. Staatsversagen! Die Politik ist schuld! Freiheitsberaubung! Ich dreh gleich durch! Alles Idioten! Meinungskriege sind in ihrem Wesen narzisstisch, weil sie nicht dem Finden eines Weges dienen, sondern dem Inszenieren der eigenen Konstrukte. Destruktiven Streit erkennt man daran, dass er nur Erregungen, keine Reflexion zulässt. Re-flexion heißt ja, dass man miteinander Aspekte der Wirklichkeit »re-flektiert«. Also sich gegenseitig auf dem Weg in eine gemeinsame Wirklichkeit begleitet. So haben es, wie es aussieht, die Neo-Koalitionäre in Deutschland gemacht. Es geht also, auch bei hochkomplexen Dingen! „Reflektieren erfordert eine unterstützende, sanfte Einstimmung auf das Selbst statt einer urteilenden Haltung, die verhört und abwertet. Reflexion ist ein mitfühlender Geisteszustand.” So formulierte es der Transformationspsychologe Daniel J. Siegel in seinem Buch „Mindsight” (Goldmann-Verlag, S. 71). Aber was tun man, wenn man mit einem aussichtslosen fraktalen Meinungskrieg konfrontiert ist? Dann ist es ratsam, sich bewusst zu entziehen. Sonst wird man unweigerlich hineingezogen in die Mühle der Erregungen. Und steckt plötzlich in einem Shitstorm, den man selbst mit angerührt hat. „Manche Probleme sind so komplex, dass man hochintelligent und gut informiert sein muss, um bei ihnen unentschieden zu sein.” Das stammt von Laurence J. Peter, dem Erfinder des Peter-Prinzips. Neben Heiterkeit und Liebe wäre ein mögliches Mittel, aus dem Nebel herauszukommen, die Erweiterung unseres Wahrnehmungs-Horizontes. Ein Blick über die Dächer. Machen wir also ein kleines Experiment. Hier einige Meldungen aus der »weiten Welt«, die Sie wahrscheinlich noch nicht gelesen oder wahr-genommen haben: Die größte und erfolgreichste Impfkampagne der Menschheitsgeschichte geht in die nächste Runde. Indien meldet die Verabreichung von einer Milliarde Covid-Vakzin-Dosen, China führt diese Liste mit zwei Milliarden an, während Brasilien 258 Millionen Dosen verabreichte und Indonesien 172 Mio. Global wurde bis Ende dieses Jahres knapp die Hälfte der Menschheit gegen Covid geimpft, und es geht schnell weiter… Quartz Ein Rollout eines neuen Polio-Vakzins in sechs afrikanischen Ländern hat dazu geführt, dass 80 Millionen Kinder nun geschützt gegen Kinderlähmung sind. Mit verringerten Seiteneffekten war das Mittel das Erste, dass von der WHO für Noteinsätze freigegeben wurde und dadurch gegen Ausbrüche schneller schützen konnte. The New Vaccine WHO Ruanda konnte seine jährliche Zahl von Malariafällen von 4,8 Millionen im Jahr 2016 auf 1,8 Millionen in 2020 reduzieren, schwere Fälle mit Todesfolge reduzierten sich um 70 Prozent. Die Regierung erprobt nun Drohnen, die Anti-Moskito-Präparate versprühen. Blasting mosquitoes with drones RBC Einer der größten Killer in hochentwickelten Ländern ist der Schlaganfall – zweithäufigste Todesursache weltweit. Ein neuer Report in The Lancet zeigt, dass weitgehend unbeachtet die Opferzahlen deutlich reduziert werden konnten – weltweit. Zwischen 1990 und 2019 ging die standardisierte Anzahl der Schlaganfälle um 17 Prozent zurück, und die Todesfälle um 36 Prozent. The Lancet © The Lancet Die Anzahl der weltweiten Kriegsopfer sank im Jahr 2020, das zweite Jahr in Folge. Die Gesamtzahl der in bewaffneten Konflikten gestorbenen betrug 120.000, das sind 30 Prozent weniger als 2018. Die Rückgänge gingen vor allem auf Veränderungen in Asien, Ozeanien und dem mittleren Osten zurück. SIPRI Eine immer größere Anzahl von Menschen in den wohlhabenden Ländern glaubt, dass Diversität gut für die Gesellschaft ist. In den USA, Kanada, UK, Australien, Neuseeland und Taiwan steigt die Akzeptanz für kulturelle und ethnische Unterschiedlichkeit, sogar in kulturell homogenen Ländern wie Japan und Griechenland. Pew © Pew Research Center Bereits vor dem Start von COP26 konnten Aktivisten gegen den Klimawandel eine gewaltige Welle von DECARBONISIERUNGS-INVESTMENTS verkünden – 40 Billionen Dollar in großen Portfolios und Pensionsfonds haben eine Abkehr von Öl- Kohle und Gas-Investitionen vollzogen. Das ist mehr als das BSP von USA und China zusammen. NYT Ein bemerkenswerter Teil des Globalen Zement-Sektors hat sich zu einer deutlichen Verringerung von Emissionen bekannt. Ein Viertel bis 2030, Karbon-Neutralität im Jahr 2050. Global Cement and Concrete Association Die Regierung von Chile hat das Verbot der meisten Verbrennungsmotoren von 2035 an angekündigt. Unter der neuen Elektrik-Transport-Strategie werden alle Fahrzeuge, Züge, auch schwere Lastwagen Zero-Emission sein müssen. We Go Electric Malawi hat die Wilderei und den Tierhandel drastisch reduzieren können – dank strengerer Gesetze. 90 Prozent aller verurteilten Wilderer brachte 4 Jahre oder mehr im Gefängnis zu. Seitdem gibt es keinen Fall von Elfenbeinhandel oder Rhino-Horn mehr, auch der Schmuggel seltener Wildtiere nach China konnte weitgehend abgestellt werden. NYT Im Ostpazifik wird ein 500.000 Quadratkilometer großes Meeresschutzgebiet entstehen, das auch die Galapagos-Inseln umfasst. Die Präsidenten von Ecuador, Kolumbien, Costa Rica und Panama verkündeten in der letzten Woche den Vertrag. Das Gebiet soll mehrere bestehende Schutzzonen miteinander verbinden und wäre damit so groß wie Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz zusammen. Innerhalb der geschützten Flächen soll es zukünftig unter anderem verboten sein, Fische zu fangen. The Guardian © The Guardian Die Population des östlichen Flachlandgorillas hat sich verdoppelt, von 3800 auf 6800. Das ist die gute Nachricht aus dem Oku Community Conservation Center im Kongo. Die Fortschritte konnten durch konsequente Habitat-Konservation mit lokalem Community-Engagement erzielt werden. Mongabay New Yorks Stadtregierung verabschiedete einen Plan, alle 885 Diesel-Busse der Stadt in vollelektrische Modelle zu konvertieren. Gleichzeitig wurde ein Zero-Emission Gesetz vor alle Passagierautos und leichten Transportfahrzeuge ab 2035 verabschiedet. We Go Electric 100 der weltgrößten Konzerne werden ab 2022 eine Minimalsteuer von 15 Prozent auf Gewinne zahlen. 136 Länder haben das neue Abkommen unterzeichnet, das mindestens 150 Milliarden mehr für die Bürger anstatt für die Konzernprofite abzweigen wird. Politico Globale Energiespeicherung wächst so schnell und in solchen Dimensionen, dass das Argument, erneuerbare Energien wären „zu unregelmäßig”, bald hinfällig sein wird. 12,4 Gigawatt Batteriespeicher werden im Jahr 2021 installiert, gegenüber 4,2 im Jahr 2020 (und 1 GW 2016). Für die nächsten Jahre werden exponentielle Entwicklungen auch mit neuen, chemischen und mechanischen Speichertechniken erwartet. Inside Climate News China hat mit der Konstruktion des größten weltweiten Erneuerbare-Energien-Projektes begonnen. 100 Gigawatt Wind und Solar-Kapazität werden in der Wüste installiert, was mehr als viermal so viel Energie wie der Dreischluchtendamm produzieren wird. Bloomberg Das Kolonialzeitalter geht endgültig zu Ende: Anfang November wurden Lebensgroße, aus Tropenholz geschnitzte Königsstatuen, handgewebte Teppiche, kleine Glockenspiele aus Metall, insgesamt 26 Kunstwerke aus Paris zurück nach Benin gebracht. Die Werke wurden dort vor 130 Jahren von der französischen Kolonialarmee gestohlen. Mit der Rückgabe der Stücke begann Präsident Emmanuel Macron, sein 2017 gegebenes Versprechen einzulösen, geraubte Kunstwerke aus den früheren französischen Kolonien in ihre Herkunftsländer zurückzubringen. In Irland startet ein Grundeinkommen-Versuch für Künstler:innen und andere Kulturschaffende. Die waren seit Beginn der Pandemie besonders stark von finanziellen Einbußen betroffen. In der geplanten Testphase erhalten 2.000 Kunstschaffende 3 Jahre lang jede Woche 325 Euro. Ab März 2022, spätestens ab April solle das Pilotprojekt starten, verkündete Kulturministerin Catherine Martin. 25 Millionen Euro stellt der irische Staat für das Vorhaben zur Verfügung. Die Bevölkerungs-Explosion, die zum festen Narrativ unserer Zukunftsängste zählt findet nicht statt. Die Menschheit wird zwischen 9 und 11 Milliarden Menschen – Tendenz zu 10 Milliarden, ihren „Peak-People” zwischen 2060 und 2080 erreichen. Die Geburtenraten sinken weiter, auch in den Armutsländern, und die Bevölkerungszahl Chinas ist bereits derzeit auf dem TIPPING POINT. In dreißig Jahren könnte es 200 Millionen weniger Chinesen geben. ZEIT ONLINE Was geht in Ihnen vor, wenn Sie diese Meldungen lesen? Sie könnten sagen: Was gehen mich Impfungen in Ruanda an? Oder: Wo stammen die Zahlen eigentlich her? Ist das nicht geschönt? Ist doch viel zu wenig! Wie soll denn das die Welt retten? Nein, es geht hier nicht darum, „ein bisschen Optimismus” zu erzeugen. Es geht nicht um Stimmungen oder Meinungen. Es geht auch nicht darum, ob es »genug« ist, damit wir Hoffnung haben »dürfen«. Es geht um die Art und Weise, wie wir Realität und Wirklichkeit, also die Zukunft, konstruieren. Wir schließen das, was wir für »die Welt« halten, immer in einem engen Tunnel ein. In diesem Tunnel selektieren wir meistens die negativen Signale, weil unser Hirn durch Jahrmillionen der Evolution dazu geprägt ist, das Gefahrvolle überzubetonen. Das hypermediale System, in dem wir leben, befördert diese Tunnelsicht. Auf diese Weise verengen wir uns in der Angst. Aus diesem negativen Narzissmus heraus entsteht leicht eine Paranoia – typisches Anzeichen dafür sind Verschwörungs-Narrative. Eine besondere Nörgel-Neigung, die zur Bösartigkeit tendiert. Ein Misstrauen, das auf Selbstverwerfung basiert. (Die Meldungen stammen übrigen überwiegend von Plattformen, die sich dem Konstruktiven Journalismus verschrieben haben. Der Medienwissenschafter Bernhard Pörksen nennt das den „Planetarischen Journalismus”.) © Julian Horx, www.julian-horx.com Komplexe Probleme sind nicht auf der Ebene ihres Entstehens lösbar. Sondern nur dadurch, dass wir neu über sie denken lernen. Paul Watzlawick, einer der Begründer des Konstruktivismus, nennt das „die Sanfte Kunst des Umdenkens”. „Die eigentliche Ursache des Leids”, schreibt Watzlawick in seinem Weltbestseller „Anleitung zum Unglücklichsein”, „liegt in unserer Unwilligkeit, Tatsachen als reelle Tatsachen und Ideen als bloße Ideen zu sehen, und dadurch, dass wir ununterbrochen Tatsachen mit Konzepten vermischen. Wir tendieren dazu, Ideen für Tatsachen zu halten, was Chaos in der Welt schafft.” Die 87jährige Naturforscherin und Schimpansen-Expertin Jane Goodall hat gerade ein wunderbares Buch veröffentlicht, in dem Sie ihre Erfahrungen mit ihrem lebenslangen Kampf gegen den Artenschwund und den Tierschutz beschreibt. In Das Buch der Hoffnung erörtert sie vier Gründe, weshalb sie an die Zukunft der Menschheit glaubt: Den erstaunlichen menschlichen Intellekt. Die Resilienz der Natur. Die Kraft junger Menschen. Den unbezähmbaren „Human Spirit”. Wenn wir den Glauben an die Zukunft verlieren, verlieren wir die Wirklichkeit. Wenn wir in die Wirklichkeit nur im verengten Blickwinkel unserer Angst wahrnehmen, verlieren wir uns selbst. Hier noch eine kleine Zusatzübung: Machen Sie den neuen GAPMINDER-Global-Wirklichkeitstest von Ola Rosling, einem guten Freund des Zukunftsinstituts, der sich auf die neuesten Daten und die „Global Goals” der UNO bezieht. Probieren Sie es. Es lohnt sich. Sie werden merken, wie sich auch ihre Haltung zum »Corona-Problem« verändert. P.S. Auch diese Corona-Welle wird vorbeigehen. Wir werden dann viel gelernt haben. Über uns selbst. Die Gesellschaft. Und das Leben. Ein großes Dankeschön an Matthias Horx für den tollen Beitrag und die freundliche Erlaubnis ihn teilen zu dürfen! In diesem Sinne, bleib frohen Mutes. Wende Deinen Blick auf all das Gute, Schöne und Positive, was wir als Menschheit erreicht haben und trage bitte durch Vernunft und Impfbereitschaft dazu bei, dass Covid-19 endlich in den Status von Influenza herabrutscht. Alles liebe und bestmögliche Gesundheit wünscht Dir, Nele

Este episódio é sobre o livro Factfulness: O hábito libertador de só ter opiniões baseadas em fatos que foi escrito por Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Hans Rosling e Ola Rosling. A ideia central do livro é desmistificar ideias pré concebidas de como o mundo esta hoje e como ele tem evoluído através de fatos e dados. Rosling realmente nos provoca a mudar a lente que usamos para enxergar o mundo. Mudar da visão dramática para uma visão baseada em dados. Ao fazermos isso, segundo ele, vamos entender o mundo de uma maneira mais ampla, correta e não apenas com achismos ou com o que a gente vê nas mídias e noticiários. Isso nos permite tomar decisões melhores, inclusive nos negócios e até diminuir o estresse gerado pelas falsas ideias e percepções de que o mundo está piorando. O que você acha disso?

In Episode 34, Gregg welcomes Robert Cobbold. He is a philosopher, educator, and public speaker who has delivered transformative educational experiences to over 40,000 young people worldwide (see here for more). He is founding editor of Conscious Evolution, an online publication and podcast aiming to disseminate the evolutionary worldview, and kindle an evolutionary transition. In this episode, Robert narrates how he had a spiritual awakening several years ago that prompted him on this journey of discovery and the production of the Conscious Evolution podcasts and webpage. He and Gregg then sync this up with UTOK, and explore ways to weave a conscious evolutionary thread together.     Here is the Conscious Evolution podcast series: https://www.consciousevolution.co.uk/ Conscious Evolution Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC--Bf2k7Gf3Q5N--NO45ECg --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

Vor einigen Wochen las ich eine Meldung, dass Bill Gates, seines Zeichens einer der reichsten Männer der Welt, der zusammen mit seiner Frau Melinda Gates Malaria und Kinderlähmung abschaffen möchte, im nächsten Jahr allen College-Absolventen in den USA ein Buch schenken wird, dass den Titel “Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World And Why Things are better than you think” trägt. Hierzulande, wo Optimismus oft als die Abwesenheit von relevantem Wissen angesehen wird, trägt es den der Gesellschaft angepassten Titel “Factfulness: Wie wir lernen, die Welt so zu sehen, wie sie wirklich ist”. Ganz so, als ob die deutschen Verleger gefürchtet hätten, dass ein Buchtitel trotz seines Welterfolgs unter den miesepetrigen und besorgten Bürgern keine Chance hätte, wenn er gleich auf dem Cover mit der Botschaft “Die Welt ist besser als du denkst” aufwarten würde.Hans Rosling, der 1948 in Schweden geboren wurde und 2017 verstarb, war ein Mediziner, der auch Statistik studiert hatte und gemeinsam mit seinem Sohn Ola Rosling und dessen Frau Anna Rosling Rönnlund die Stiftung gapminder gründete und leitete, deren Ziel es war und ist, eine auf Fakten beruhende Sicht auf die Welt zu fördern und dabei ausschließlich frei zugängliche öffentliche Statistiken zu verwenden.Große Berühmtheit erlangte er durch seine Auftritte bei den TED Talks, in denen er in schlecht geschnittenen Jackets mit einem überlangen Zeigestab Lacher erzielte und seine Zuhörer schockierte, indem er Multiple Choice Fragen stellte, die auf ein allgemeines Verständnis der Verfasstheit der Welt zielen und in absurder Höhe falsch beantwortet werden; unabhängig davon, ob er vor Studenten sprach oder vor den sogenannten World Leadern in Davos. Letztere müssten es eigentlich wissen und schneiden auch etwas besser ab. Trost spendete Hans Rosling mit der überraschend gut, weil die Unwissenden zum Lachen bringenden gewählten statistischen Vergleichsgruppe, den Schimpansen. Da sie die Fragen eher wenig verstehen, gelingt ihnen bei jeweils 3 Antwortmöglichkeiten die Auswahl der richtigen Antwort zu immerhin 33%. Damit schneiden sie jedes Mal besser als die befragten Menschen ab.Hans Rosling spricht - zu Recht - von einer verheerenden Ignoranz seiner Zuhörer gegenüber der eigentlichen Weltlage. In seinem Weltbestseller “Factfulness” zitiert er viele Statistiken, zeigt Entwicklungen und Vorurteile, die sich hierzulande, wie im Rest der sich als “entwickelt” - in Abgrenzung zur sich “als entwickelnd” wahrgenommenen Welt, als äußerst hartnäckig erweisen. Er benennt Ursachen und - dies scheint mir neben seinem aufklärerischen Ansatz die Überzeugungskraft seiner Arbeit auszumachen - erhebt sich dabei nie über die noch nicht Aufgeklärten, schreibt und spricht mit einem zutiefst emphatischen und humanistischen Ansatz, der stets Verständnis für das Einzelschicksal zeigt, dessen Schwere verstörend sein kann, das aber nichts daran ändert, dass die Welt eine bessere ist, als wir im Allgemeinen glauben.Eine augenöffnende Leseerfahrung, die tatsächlich das eigene Bild der Welt korrigiert und in Gesprächen und Streits mit Freunden, Familie, Stammtisch und Kollegen helfen wird. Ein Buch, dessen Empfehlung den Bildungsauftrag unseres kleinen Lokalsenders coloRadio für die ganze Dekade erfüllt: lest “Factfulness”! Obwohl ein Bestseller, ist der Titel der automatischen Rechtschreibkorrektur noch nicht bekannt, die ihn gern in Tactfulness ändern möchte.Es ist ein Verdienst Hans Roslings und seiner Kollaborateure, tatsächlich taktvoll vorzugehen, wenn er nach und nach so ziemlich jede als sicher geglaubte Annahme widerlegt. Wie aber kommt es zur von ihm als “verheerend ignoranten” Weltsicht?Wir wachsen in bestimmten Gegebenheiten auf, die unseren Blick auf die tatsächliche Verfasstheit der Welt mit voreingenommenen Sichtweisen vernebeln. Wir lernen von Lehrern, deren Ansichten sich nicht gemäß den Veränderungen und Umschwüngen anpassen und mit Lehrmaterialien, die aufgrund von fehlenden Praxen und Prioritäten viel zu selten aktualisiert werden. Kurz, wir lernen die Welt kennen, wie sie vor 50 Jahren war, nicht, wie sie tatsächlich ist, und beantworten Fragen wie z. B.: Wie ist das weltweite Einkommen verteilt? Wie schnell und wo wächst die Bevölkerung der Welt? Wie ist die Entwicklung der Kindersterblichkeit? Was sind die häufigsten Todesursachen? Wieviel Prozent der Weltbevölkerung sind geimpft? oder Wieviel Prozent der Mädchen weltweit genießen die gleiche Schulbildung wie Jungen? immer und immer wieder falsch.Eine der bedeutendsten Fehlannahmen ist die Überzeugung, dass die Welt eine duale ist: auf der einen Seite die entwickelte, den wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Fortschritt anführende Welt, wie wir sie in Nordamerika und Europa und einigen weiteren Staaten vermuten, auf der anderen Seite die sich entwickelnde Welt, also den ganzen großen Rest. 1975, also vor mehr als 40 Jahren, war dies tatsächlich noch so. Die Einkommensverteilung zeigte 2 große Buckel: den größeren für den Teil der Weltbevölkerung, die mit weniger als 1 Dollar pro Tag auskommen musste und den weit kleineren Teil, die bis zu 100 Dollar am Tag zur Verfügung hatte. Diese Welt gibt es nicht mehr: Hans Rosling zeigt, dass die Verteilung des Einkommens weltweit längst der Normalverteilung entspricht: nur noch ein geringer Anteil der Weltbevölkerung lebt in absoluter Armut und muss sein Leben dem Überleben widmen, ebenso ist der Anteil der Superreichen - und dies ist ein Fakt, der uns wiederum bekannt ist - sehr gering. Aber der Großteil der Weltbevölkerung gehört inzwischen zur Mittelschicht, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass genügend Essen und Elektrizität zur Verfügung stehen, alle Heranwachsenden eine Bildung erhalten, in überwiegender Zahl geimpft und nicht durch Masernepidemien bedroht sind.Dies wird nur zögerlich durch Weltorganisationen adaptiert, auch wenn Hans Rosling einen Großteil seiner Zeit dafür verwandte.Unsere zweigeteilte Weltsicht ignoriert dies, da es auch wesentlich einfacher und evolutionär begünstigt wird, die Welt in 2 Teile, in Arm und Reich, in den Westen und den Rest, in Freund und Feind zu teilen.Die Entwicklung, für die ich hier nur ein Beispiel nennen möchte, ist eine andere: reiche Konsumenten, für deren Einordnung das Kriterium gewählt wird, dass sie sich eine Flugreise für ihre Ferien leisten können, kamen 1975 nur zu 30% außerhalb von Europa und Nordamerika, heute sind es bereits 50%. Legt man Voraussagen des Internationalen Währungsfonds zum Bruttoinlandsprodukt zu Grunde, werden 2035 73% der reichen Konsumenten außerhalb des von uns als der “reichen Welt” empfundenen Länder kommen.Auf die Frage, wie ein Umgang mit diesen Fragen gestaltet werden soll, wird eine einfache Antwort gegeben: Zuerst messen, dann handeln.In “Factfulness” werden die häufigsten Irrglauben benannt und Faustregeln erläutert, wie die Welt heute aussieht und wie man mit seinen Vorurteilen und - fast noch bedeutender - Ängsten, aber auch mit Meldungen umgehen kann:1. Alles wird schlechter ist schlicht falsch, (fast) alles wird besser.2. Die Welt ist in arm und reich geteilt. Falsch: es gibt einen Auswuchs in der Mitte, in dem sich die Einkommen der meisten Menschen befinden.3. Zuerst müssen die Leute sozial “aufsteigen”, damit die größten Herausforderungen wie die Abschaffung der Kindersterblichkeit, Schulbildung, Elektrizität, Impfungen und ähnliches für alle gemeistert werden können. Wieder falsch, das ist schon passiert, denn nur noch ein geringer Teil lebt in der sogenannten absoluten Armut.4. Sachen, die einem persönlich besonders gefährlich erscheinen, wie z. B. Haie, Terrorismus oder die Gefahr von Erkrankungen des eigenen Kindes, wenn man es impfen lässt, spielen in globalen Statistiken eine verschwindend geringe Rolle, auch wenn sie für das Individuum bei ihrem Auftreten gefährlich sein können.Hans Rosling, dem sein Privileg in einem Sozialstaat aufzuwachsen, sehr wohl bewusst war und der während seines Lebens einen großen Aufschwung seines Heimatlandes Schweden erlebte, verteidigt diesen und staatliche Programme zur Bildung und Gesundheitsversorgung als Pfeiler einer Welt, die sich weiter zum Besseren wandeln wird, wenn die zunehmende Individualisierung und große Ignoranz der reichsten Einkommensschicht, die sich ausschließlich in Europa und Nordamerika findet, sich gegenüber den Fakten und den daraus gewonnenen Statistiken nicht verschließt. Es ist eines der Symptome unserer Zeit, dass sich einige wenige Superreiche diesen Aufgaben verschreiben, während die Neoliberalisierung immer noch zunimmt und diese Probleme und Herausforderungen, für die unsere Steuern vorrangig verwendet werden sollten, aus ihren Stiftungsgeldern bezahlt. Und trotzdem: Things are better than we think. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit lobundverriss.substack.com

Before we begin, let's first consider a key question to understand this book. Do you think the world is going to get better or worse in the future? After years of research, the authors of this book have found that most people believe that our world is heading towards a negative path that will worsen in the upcoming year. If you ask them why such a negative perspective of the future, many will most likely cite the endless negative news about the destructions caused by environmental pollution, violent crimes, plane crashes, road accidents, new diseases as evidence that a darker future is on the way. However, to answer this question from a clear perspective, it is necessary to look at factual data and understand the truth behind it. We will learn how to do it in this book.

In this video I will talk about the Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think book by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund. This book is about why we are seeing the world as an increasingly worsening place, instead of looking at all the progress we have made. Instead of blaming the media it actually goes to the root of the problem, the human psychology and how our minds work.

Lo sabemos, parece que este ha sido el peor año de la humanidad; pero la verdad es que no. Los humanos estamos mejor que nunca y en este episodio revisamos por qué. Usamos como base el libro Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think de Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Hans Rosling y Ola Rosling.

Det är söndag och knepig lucka igen. Hur ska vi slippa kognitivt spö i framtiden utan att förföras av algoritmer? Vi går igenom en observation här som definitivt kan hjälpa till med det.

Gapet mellan fakta och föreställning är klurigt. Ett samtal om Gapminder och Annas arbete för ett faktabaserat förhållningssätt till världen.

Episode Introduction Alexander Betts, Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs at the University of Oxford, and Ola Rosling, CEO of Gapminder, discuss what (almost) everybody gets wrong about refugees in this episode hosted by IKEA Foundation CEO Per Heggenes.  There are a lot of misconceptions about refugees, especially around their intentions and why they leave their homes, belongings and loved ones to venture into the unknown. Do you think you know your facts about refugees? Learn more from two interesting and knowledgeable guests who shine a light on some of the issues faced by the world's 26 million refugees. Guests Bio  Ola Rosling is President and Co-Founder of Gapminder Foundation, which he founded together with his wife and his father. Since 1999, Ola has led the development of the Trendalyzer software, which was acquired by Google in 2007. At Google Ola and his team delivered the Motion Chart as part of Google Spreadsheets. As Product Manager for Google Public Data, Ola then helped democratise access to public statistics by developing the infrastructure needed to make official statistics part of Google Search results. Ola and Anna went back to Gapminder in 2011 to develop free teaching materials for a fact-based worldview. In 2014, Ola coined the term “Factfulness”, which Gapminder is now promoting to make education about Sustainable Development less ideological and more fact-based. Together with Anna and Hans, Ola wrote Factfulness, a book launched in April 2018.  Twitter handle: @OlaRosling Alexander Betts is Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs, William Golding Senior Fellow in Politics at Brasenose College, and Associate Head of the Social Sciences Division, at the University of Oxford. He served as Director of the Refugee Studies Centre between 2014 and 2017. His research focuses on the politics and economics of refugee assistance. He is co-author, with Paul Collier, of Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System (Penguin Allen Lane), which was named by the Economist as one of the “Best Books of 2017”. He is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and was named by Foreign Policy magazine in the top 100 global thinkers of 2016. His TED talks have been viewed by over 3 million people, and he has written for the New York Times, the Guardian, and the Washington Post. He has previously worked for UNHCR and serves as a Councillor on the World Refugee Council. Twitter handle: @alexander_betts Mentioned in this episode  To learn more: Factfulness book launched in April 2018. https://www.gapminder.org/factfulness-book/ To know more about Gapminder:  www.gapminder.org   To know more about Oxford University:  https://www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/publications  Show credits  Host: Altaf Makhiawala, Strategic Communicator, IKEA Foundation Executive Producer: Truus Huisman, Chief Communication Officer  Researcher: Blanche van de Stolpe, Strategic Communicator, IKEA Foundation An Andy Clark Media Production for the IKEA Foundation  Want to contact the show?

That we would be glued to the daily news like never before, anxiously waiting to see more and more charts, expecting data analysts to tell us which way curves, bars, and pie charts are progressing?

Welcome to Episode 7 of the WELL + WILD Podcast. This week we have a super impressive guest, her name is Meg Harris, she works in a corporate job she loves but also has a serious side hobby and passion for Powerlifting. We discuss how Powerlifting has brought additional fulfilment to Meg's life and why it's important to keep up things we love in addition to work and career. Meg's story highlights how fulfilment outside of a corporate job can come in different forms. In this episode, we discuss how Meg got into Powerlifting, the importance of seizing opportunities and how having a passion project/competing impacts her corporate performance in a positive way. I loved speaking with Meg and how she smashes stereotypes, she's an incredible impressive lady and despite being only 23 I think we can all take a lot away from her story and wisdom.
