Summary
How has a small nation of 9 million people, forced to fight for its existence and security since its founding and riven by ethnic, religious, and economic divides, proven resistant to so many of the societal ills plaguing other wealthy democracies?
Why do Israelis have among the world's highest life expectancies and lowest rates of "deaths of despair" from suicide and substance abuse? Why is Israel's population young and growing while all other wealthy democracies are aging and shrinking? How can it be that Israel, according to a United Nations ranking, is the fourth happiest nation in the world? Why do Israelis tend to look to the future with hope, optimism, and purpose while the rest of the West struggles with an epidemic of loneliness, teen depression, and social decline?
Dan Senor and Saul Singer, the writers behind the international bestseller Start-Up Nation, have long been students of the global innovation race. But as they spent time with Israel's entrepreneurs and political leaders, soldiers and students, scientists and activists, ultra-Orthodox Jews, Tel Aviv techies, and Israeli Arabs, they realized that they had missed what really sets Israel apart.

Fascinating insights on the Israeli social fabric
I learned so much about the demography and its impact, the building blocks of family cohesion, the innovation mindset and how family dynamics have a part to play, the IDF and its contribution to the maturity and mindsets that drive youth development and resilience and so much more. Published before October 7th, it is a stark reminder of how swiftly things can change and how necessary the resilience will be in the turbulent times ahead.

Full of “ah hah” moments
Love the book, especially reading it in such a difficult time. The information and phenomena mentioned in the book were not new to me, but tbh I never made the links, the book did that for me, and explained a lot of my observations.
