One of Israel’s most successful venture capitalists uses the words and actions of the Hebrew patriarchs to lay the foundations for a modern growth economy based on timeless business principles and values.
Entrepreneurs, businessmen, and investors are constantly looking for principles and rules that will pave the way for success. Usually, those at the forefront are successful entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley or legendary Wall Street investors. But the principles of economic growth, wealth creation and preservation were written long before the rise of the modern market economy and its heroes.
Michael Eisenberg—one of the most successful venture capitalists in Israel, and one of the first investors in Lemonade, and Wix—reveals in The Tree of Life and Prosperity the eternal principles for successful business, economics, and negotiation hidden in the Torah—and shows their relevance to the modern world we live in.

Recenzii

“Michael Eisenberg provides brilliant insights into how the Bible can inform our understanding of business and markets. Eisenberg’s lessons are deeply impactful into how all business professionals should approach their decision-making. This book is certain to become required reading in all business ethics curricula.”
“The Tree of Life and Prosperity is that rare treat. It quotes people who have probably never been quoted together in the same book, reflecting Michael Eisenberg’s intellectual breadth, integrated worldview, and experience as a successful venture capitalist. Irrespective of your level of familiarity with the biblical text or religious belief, The Tree of Life and Prosperity can surprise, delight, and challenge you.”
“The Tree of Life and Prosperity is a superb read for anyone in the world of business, or for anyone wondering how to reconcile the values of Genesis with the bewildering 21st-century world of Nasdaq and crypto.”
“The Torah, we are told, has seventy faces, and Michael Eisenberg has revealed what is surely one of its most unexpected.”
“In an analytical tour de force, Michael brilliantly limns timeless lessons from the Torah to distill 21st-century first principles for business and ethics. This book should be read by everyone interested in starting a company.”
“Move over Warren Buffett: turns out that the best investment thesis of all comes straight out of the Book of Genesis. Principles, in fact, are a competitive advantage. Eisenberg’s erudition is deep and wide: this is a book to be savored and shared.”
“In today’s shifting economy, social consciousness and business have become intrinsically linked. The Tree of Life and Prosperity is the book the market has been waiting for—a succinct and compelling guide to ethical investing principles.”

“Venture capital typically exists in a secular vacuum. But as Eisenberg demonstrates, it only really works when it’s undergirded by a moral framework of trust, mutual benefit, and societal advancement. This is a must-read for anyone who wants investing to be more than a zero-sum game.”
“Regardless of your background, The Tree of Life and Prosperity will equally nourish the mind and soul. It’s an instant classic that will inspire vibrant discussions in homes, classrooms, and boardrooms for years to come.”
