The ancient Romans believed in a genie, a guardian spirit that shapes character and provides protection. They would probably consider Israel’s genie to be powerful, overseeing a state created by a unique people in difficult circumstances. While other wealthy democracies are aging, Israel’s population is young and growing. The country has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, low suicide rates, and low drug and alcohol abuse rates. The Israeli army is a model of high-tech and inclusiveness, and the economy is at the forefront of the innovation race. In their new work, Saul Singer and Dan Sinor, authors of the best-selling book “Startup Country,” explore the paradoxes of Israeli society and show what people really need to be happy. The book explains why Jews continue to thrive despite lacking significant natural resources, surrounded by aggressive neighbors, and at the same time divided within themselves. Despite political, ethnic, religious, and economic differences, everyone is ready to come to the aid of another, to unite to overcome the next crisis. "The Genius of Israel" tells the story of a state built on the values of service, solidarity, and belonging to the community.
