About the Author

Hans Rosling was the sword-swallowing statistician whose data visualizations proved the world is better than we think, reaching 35+ million through TED.

Karolinska Institute professor of global health (Hans, 1948-2017), his TED Talks revolutionized data presentation using animated statistics. With son Ola and daughter-in-law Anna, founded Gapminder, transforming how UN, World Bank, and governments communicate data. Factfulness sold 2.5+ million copies posthumously. Time's 100 Most Influential People. Their Dollar Street project photographed 30,000+ homes across 50 countries.

What sets them apart: They made statistics entertaining, using washing machines and IKEA boxes to explain global development.

Educators using Gapminder tools report 80% improvement in students' global awareness accuracy.

The family who fought ignorance with facts and won hearts with humor.
