Cool Guides That Explain Complicated Issues

They say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and it turns out it’s true!

Some of us, 65% of the world’s population, in fact, are visual learners.

Providing an infographic doesn’t just help illustrate the point, it can actually help people internalize it.

That’s one of the reasons the r/coolguides subreddit is so popular, providing dozens of cool infographics and guides.

Here are 14 Cool Guides that really bring the point home and help to simplify complicated topics.
