If you’re getting a degree from a U.S. college this spring, I have a present for you.
It’s a book. (No surprise there. Books are my go-to gift.) It’s called Factfulness,
by the late global-health expert and noted sword swallower Hans
Rosling, and it is packed with advice about how to see the world
clearly. Although I think everyone should read it, it has especially
useful insights for anyone who’s making the leap out of college and into
the next phase of life.
So I am giving Factfulness
to everyone who’s getting a
degree from a U.S. college or university this spring. If you’re being
awarded an associate’s, bachelor’s, or post-graduate degree, download
your free copy of the book below. (Unfortunately, because of
international publishing rights, it is available only to graduates from
U.S. schools.)
I hope you enjoy Factfulness as much as I did. And I hope
you take Hans’s advice to heart. “When we have a fact-based worldview,”
he writes, “we can see that the world is not as bad as it seems—and we
can see what we have to do to keep making it better.” I agree. My wish
for you at this special time is to learn to think, and act, factfully.
Congratulations, and good luck!
Bill Gates
