“At the heart of Inbal Arieli’s eye-opening deconstruction of Israeli entrepreneurial DNA is the question, ‘How can we help our kids (and ourselves) learn and grow from failure?’ A fascinating read.”

Meir Brand

ice president of EMEA Emerging Markets, Google Inc.

“An exceptionally entertaining and informative book. . . . A must-read for those interested in decoding what makes the Israeli innovation machine the most effective on the planet.”

Scott Dulchavsky

CEO, Henry Ford Innovation Institute

“Imagine learning how to empower your children to become leaders, to instill in entrepreneurial wannabes the traits that breed start-up success, and to catalyze your own innovation ecosystem … all in one slim volume. Entertaining the reader with compelling personal stories, Arieli systematically decodes the secrets of success of the world’s most successful innovation nation.”

Ellis Rubinstein

President & CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences

"In a masterful portrayal of Israeli entrepreneurialism, Arieli makes the counter-intuitive and eminently logical point: “Junkyard” training is a treasure. Controlled chaos breeds mental agility and improvisation...and...serves as a backdrop for the uniquely Israeli response: optimism, resilience, and breakthrough innovation."

Robin Weiss

Investor

“If you want to understand what makes Israel, pound for pound, the single most dynamic nexus in the global entrepreneurial ecosystem, read this book right now. Arieli has given us a blueprint for the culture that has turned Israel into a powerhouse over the past two decades. Her account is entertaining, personal, and accurate.”

Michael Fertik

Founder and Managing Director, Heroic Ventures

“On my first-ever trip to Israel, Arieli showed me the remarkable ecosystem of entrepreneurship that exists in the country. You do not truly appreciate how remarkable this society is until you see it firsthand, and before you go, Chutzpah should be on the required reading list.”
