{"product_id":"9781250067807","title":"The Israeli Mind: How the Israeli National Character Shapes Our World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIsraelis are bold and visionary, passionate and generous. But they can also be grandiose and self-absorbed. Emerging from the depths of Jewish history and the drama of the Zionist rebellion against it, they have a deeply conflicted identity. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for the collective, but also to sacrifice that very collective for a higher, and likely unattainable, ideal. Resolving these internal conflicts and coming to terms with the trauma of the Holocaust are imperative to Israel's survival as a nation and to the stability of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlon Gratch, a clinical psychologist whose family has lived in Israel for generations, is uniquely positioned to confront these issues. Like the Israeli psyche that Gratch details, \u003ci\u003eThe Israeli Mind \u003c\/i\u003eis both intimate and universal. Intelligent and forthright, compassionate but sometimes maddening, it is an utterly compelling read. Drawing on a broad cultural and historical canvas, and weaving in the author's personal and professional experience, \u003ci\u003eThe Israeli Mind \u003c\/i\u003epresents a provocative, first-hand portrait of the Israeli national character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030140600560,"sku":"9781250067807","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250067807_p0.jpg?v=1763702472","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250067807","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
