I read Factfullness by hans rosling, would recommend if you want a different outlook in these seemingly dark times
One of the most charming and talented people to emerge from the data world.
He had a depth of heart that he brought to his analysis that has and continues to inspire my career, for better or for worse.
If you haven’t yet or for anyone else reading this, find a quiet moment to watch his TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen
I'm still reading it and I'm halfway through it. I agree in recommending it! Moreover gapminder (which is the source of most of the stats) now has data updated up to the year 2022.
