QMB 3250 Santa Fe College Factfulness Book Summary

Task

This will not be a typical book report where you summarize the entire book in one paper.

First, this assignment is broken up into 2 parts to make it more manageable. Do the first half for the first summary and the second half for the second summary. You decide where the halfway point is.

Second, this is a reading journal not a summary. For each paper you should keep a journal of your thoughts as your read through the assigned chapters.

The journal will consist of you thoughts about the material. You may want to ask yourself the following questions as you read through the book:

• Why does it make sense that…?
• Is this true? Why?

What is the main point here?

• What would happen if this were not true?

Why does X cause Y?

• How does this connect to my other readings?
• Do I agree with X’s opinion and why or why not?
• How would I argue against this point?
• How would I fix this situation?
• Why would the author make this point?
• The book is: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World–and Why Things Are Better Than You Think. by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund.
