Summary of Hans Rosling's How I Learned to Understand the World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I learned about the world from my father, who worked in the roasting shed at Lindvalls Kaffe in Uppsala. He would bring home coins from all over the world, and explain to me how they got there.

#2 I had a small wireless set in a wooden case that stood on the String shelf above the kitchen table. I would listen to the news from Sveriges Radio, the national broadcaster, with my parents. My parents’ views mattered to me as a boy more than the actual news stories.

#3 I was a teenager when I became fascinated by the challenge of understanding how people live their lives. I began to ask my mother’s and father’s parents detailed questions about their living conditions.

#4 My grandma had a dream of owning a washing machine, which she did in 1940. She was able to keep it clean, and the clothes were easy to wash and dry. But my grandfather lost his job when he was seventeen, and he was ashamed to be unemployed.
