A poll spanning 22 countries done recently for BBC’s
World Service suggests people view North Korea and Israel equally negatively.
The utterly cool movie Israel
Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference (link below) may change some
naysayers’ minds … then again, maybe not. Closed minds are just that.
Narrated
by New York Times bestselling author and former Harvard
lecturer, Dr. Tal Ben Shahar, the film uncovers how despite incredible
challenges, Israeli creativity, innovation and chutzpah have triumphed over adversities
ranging from geographic to unspeakable.
Hundreds
of TV networks and programs have profiled the brilliant, personable PhD and
family man, including 60
Minutes and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
He now consults and lectures around the world to executives in multinational
corporations, Fortune 500 companies, educational institutions, and for the
general public. His topics include leadership, education, ethics, happiness,
self-esteem, resilience, goal-setting, and mindfulness.
Israeli-born
and American-raised, Dr. Tal taught Harvard’s most popular course ever,
'Positive Psychology', and his international best sellers Being Happy and Happier have been translated into 25
languages.
You

a Big Difference.
