Compelling and thought provoking read.

This book is truly enlightening in describing human tendency to have an overly negative outlook towards the health, education, and well being throughout the globe. Each of the ten arguments presented by the authors are explained in easy to read / comprehend verbiage and will serve to dispel negative global outlooks. To be sure, much work remains; but as the authors note, the current actual conditions grounded in fact, demonstrate the tremendous progress achieved and point toward an increasingly positive outlook. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking an increased awareness of the world, especially in context, and relative to their own nation.
