Did you know, 9 in 10 people leave their holiday shopping to the last minute?

Finding a meaningful gift for the “person who has everything” is never an easy task. But have no fear, VC is here.

Below are 7 reasons why our new coffee table book is the perfect gift for anyone with a curiosity streak – and why you should get them a copy right away.

1. The book is a great conversation starter

What does artificial intelligence have to do with the rapid urbanization of emerging markets?

Both topics (and more) are found in Visualizing Change – and they’ll help inject some life into the next family holiday dinner.

2. Get it for the person who has everything

We all know that one person who is impossible to buy for.

The great thing about Visualizing Change is that it’s completely unique. The book is 100% visual in nature, filled with 256 pages of infographics, charts, and maps.

We promise that it’s absolutely a one-of-a-kind gift. So order today to cross off your holiday shopping gift list!

3. Your clients will love it, too

This year, give your clients the gift of knowledge. Our signature data-driven visuals make the book an ideal corporate gift, and companies have taken advantage of our customized bulk orders.

In a hurry? North American companies can skip the customization and have bulk orders on their doorstep within 48 hours using Amazon Prime.

The books are a beautifully appointed gift for our top clients.

The deadline to receive custom orders before Christmas has passed, but non-holiday orders can still be fulfilled!

4. The book is full of jaw-dropping data

What will the world’s most populous cities be in 80 years?
Which governments owe trillions of dollars in debt?
How much money exists?
How many Chinese cities have over 1 million inhabitants?
How did the world’s richest billionaires make their fortunes?

In the book, you’ll find the answers to these questions and more.

5. It looks fantastic on your coffee table

We’d be embarrassed if our book ended up looking tacky in your living room.

That’s why we put extra care into selecting the book materials: a strong hardcover and high-quality paper that allows the art to pop.

6. 5-Star ratings on Amazon

We are proud to say that our book has almost exclusively 5-star reviews from customers on Amazon.

If you’re still not convinced, we encourage you to read existing customer reviews on the impact of this data-focused work of art.

Buying a bunch to hand out as gifts, it’s that good!

This book visualizes the key economic facts and drivers of our times… I retain about 400% more key data looking at their graphs.

7. There is a limited supply of books left

We expect to sell out of individual books and our bulk order inventory by Christmas time.

Get Visualizing Change as the perfect gift now – and don’t risk missing out!

At the end of 2023, we publicly launched Voronoi, our free new data discovery app!

The initial response from both users and creators has been incredible. We now have millions of in-app views, and there are already more than 700 interesting visualizations to discover, many of which will never be published on Visual Capitalist.

For that reason, we’ve chosen to highlight some of the most popular visualizations and creators from March in this roundup. To see them and many others, make sure to download the app!

Let’s take a look at a popular creator worth highlighting, as well as the most viewed, most discussed, and most liked posts of the month.

POPULAR CREATOR

Ehsan Soltani

Visual Capitalist isn’t the only creator on the Voronoi app.

Instead, it features incredible data-driven charts and stories from many of the world’s best creators, like Ehsan Soltani.

Ehsan's visualizations on Voronoi

Ehsan is an economist, and one of the most prolific creators on Voronoi so far. He’s published 41 visualizations on wide-ranging subjects such as:

The world’s biggest “money printer” economies
Global commodity returns
Corruption by country
Inflation rates in advanced economies

This visualization from Visual Capitalist was one of the most viewed by users, and it highlights the top languages spoken around the world.

Data here comes from the Ethnologue database, the most rigorous and comprehensive language database globally. It’s worth noting that it highlights languages spoken by native speakers only, so second languages are not counted here.

MOST DISCUSSED

Where Young People are Happiest

The most commented on visualization from Visual Capitalist showed the countries with the happiest young people (under 30 years old).

Where Young People are Happiest

This comes from the World Happiness Report, which Visual Capitalist covers extensively every year.

In this year’s edition, one particularly interesting feature focused on happiness discrepancies between age groups. For example, in some countries, younger people were much happier than the average population—in others, older populations were far happier.
