{"product_id":"israeli-mind-alon-gratch-9781250067807","title":"Israeli Mind","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.\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alon Gratch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250067804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250067807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015","brand":"Alon Gratch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129103937791,"sku":"9781250067807","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_512edc2c-4046-466a-9882-59843f62afcf.jpg?v=1687462078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/israeli-mind-alon-gratch-9781250067807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
