Do you ever feel like the world is doomed? Life gets harder, people get meaner, and nothing works like it used to? Well it turns out that’s probably your cognitive bias - and has very little to do with reality. Join Theia and Ceres as we dive into Factfulness, a book on how a fact based look at the world is more hopeful than you’d think. 

Let us know how well you do on the Gapminder test!
