Did you know that you’re almost two thousand times more likely to die from an asteroid hitting the earth than you are from a terrorist attack? Would you be shocked to learn that almost half of pilots surveyed admitted to falling asleep during a flight? Do you think world population growth is increasing or declining? And does a regular social drinker earn more or less than their alcohol-free counterpart? In this fascinating book, John Harnish talks you through over one hundred statistics that will surprise, shock and amaze, covering subjects as diverse as life, death, crime, education, the environment and much more.
