Facts vs Statistics

I am currently reading Factfulness by Hans Rosling. It is one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read.

It helps put all the numbers we hear in the news into perspective and it’s not boring.

Take the free quiz and then let me know how you did? Don’t think or research the answers. Just answer them based on what you know and hear.

Depression kills

I read this article about an obituary making the rounds on Facebook. I am not on Facebook because like depression it lies. While Facebook portrays an unrealistic life standard which we want to obtain, depression lies because it blinds us to the truth. Depression tells me I am not lovable. I am not worthy. It says no one wants me. It says I have nothing to offer. Intellectually I understand, emotionally I am still blind. Read the link and educate yourself. The life you save may be someone you love.
