Description

In this deeply revealing memoir Jonathan Kis-Lev takes us into his unique upbringing: "I was taught to have courage, chutzpah, from an early age, and it shaped who I am..." Yet this is not a personal memoir, but rather a collective one: a memoir of the Jewish People. Covering 3000 years of history, Jonathan carefully extracts key success secrets beginning in Abraham's courage to follow his calling, all the way to the establishment of the State of Israel. "I'm always asked," Jonathan explains, "'why are you Jews so successful? How come you account for less than one percent of the world's population, yet receive 20 percent of the world's Nobel Prizes?' - Well, this book is my answer..."
