Discovering self in the chaos of today’s world
Israeli author Irina Nevzlin is the Chair of the Board of the Museum of Jewish People in Tel Aviv, co-founder of the Israeli Center for Better Childhood, and president of the Nadav Foundation � each role representing her focus on building a meaningful life and building personal identity, strengthening roots, and developing collective identity.
Irina Nevzlin writes in a manner that encourages the reader to respond with appreciation and attention, not unlike a warm conversation with an intelligent and compassionate friend. In her Preface she writes, ‘I woke up one morning in December 2018 with a book in my head. Throughout my entire life, until that moment, I had never thought of writing a book but I felt an urge to share a message that derives form personal experience. As Guy Kawaski says, “Learning by anecdote is risky, but waiting for scientific proof is too,� My message is simple. There are many things we can do and decisions we can make that reduce fear, bring meaning, and enhance enjoyment while exploring life in our fast-changing world. If you want to make your life better by getting fresh insight and a different perspective � this is the book for you.�
Sharing her origins in the USSR and later in London, Irina brings us into her circle of life invitingly, and in this wise book she discusses such aspects of her philosophy as Connecting to who you are � trees, roots, personal growth, Making sense of the world today, Why immigrants can help us fond a solution, Some ideas on getting to know who you are (digital identity, differentiating between labels and identity, multiculturalism and its impact on identity, discovering your personal identity versus having it handed to you), Enjoying a bold new spirit of adventure, and more.
Ever positive in her outlook and in her teaching and guidance, Irina shares her insights in a dialogue with the reader that makes entering her enlightened state of self-discovery accessible to all. This is a sensitive and caring book by a woman of significance. Recommended.
