The Genius of Israel

The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World
Book • 2023
The book delves into the surprising resilience of Israel, a nation facing numerous external and internal challenges.

It examines why Israelis have high life expectancies, low rates of 'deaths of despair,' and a young and growing population.

The authors, Dan Senor and Saul Singer, attribute Israel's success to its societal values, including service, solidarity, and belonging.

They discuss how the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), high-tech start-ups, and strong social networks contribute to the country's happiness and innovation.

The book offers insights into how other communities and countries can learn from Israel's unique societal structure and resilience.
