Factfulness
Anna and Ola offer a radical new explanation of why we get the answers wrong to life's basic questions. 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) and how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).
Anna and Ola receive honorary doctorates from the University of Skövde
