ISResilience is a study of a nation that has had to collectively and individually hang tough like no other country on earth. Imbued in Israel’s DNA is the understanding that survival isn’t optional - it’s a necessity. Any Israeli could have given testimony for this book.

And they don’t just survive - they thrive.

On the other hand, obesity and lifestyle diseases continue to rise.
