Summary of Andy Dunn's Burn Rate

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most affectionate term for my mother’s sister is masi. For me and my sister, our mother’s family was the strongest force in our childhood. My mom’s sisters built the clichéd Indian American immigrant family, filled with doctors and married to them. #2 My father, Charles Dunn, was a gentle giant who was raised as an evangelical Christian. He was a watchful protector and an ascetic who abstained from all forms of hedonistic consumption. He was a walking encyclopedia. #3 I had no idea that my family’s history of mental illness and my own issues would be so closely intertwined. I grew up in a middle-class family in Chicago, and I didn’t have any sense of difference or uniqueness until I was in second grade, when my parents told me that they’d been speaking with the teacher about my skipping third grade. #4 I was eight years old when I first heard the word entrepreneur. I was reading books by David Eddings and J. R. Tolkien, and cultivating my inner superhero complex, while my friend Gavin was reading Tolstoy and Zola. I envied Gavin’s family for having season tickets to the Chicago Bulls.
