Summary of Timothy F. Geithner's Stress Test

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

#1 I had a normal childhood, with just a few exceptions. I was a good student, never a great one. I was a decent athlete, and not particularly ambitious or hardworking. I grew up in a big, close, raucous family with a lot of love and laughter, and I never took life too seriously.

#2 My father was a German immigrant who settled in north Philadelphia and ran a small business as a cabinetmaker. He went to a public high school, where he was a star athlete and class president. The U. S. military paid his way through Dartmouth, where he made Phi Beta Kappa. He then spent four years as a Navy pilot.

#3 I went to an American International School in India, and I did American-kid things like join the swim team and play baseball. But unlike Foreign Service families, who were usually stationed at the embassy compound, we lived with other expats in an Indian neighborhood called Friends Colony.

#4 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so I just did whatever I felt like doing. I was relatively free of angst, but I had no commercial influences in my life. I didn’t think about how I would earn a living.
