Today, on the anniversary of the attacks of October 7th, I'm releasing my conversation with Eli Sharabi who I interviewed yesterday about his new book HOSTAGE. If you only read one book all year, read this one. HOSTAGE is a story detailing everything that happened to Eli from his being abducted from his home on October 7th to after his release at a time when he hit bottom and vowed to really live. The book -- and our short conversation were inspiring beyond measure. As we pray for the release of the hostages, two years later, Eli's calm, optimistic, practical, and utterly inspiring message will buoy our spirits. And during a time of incomprehensible societal division, Eli's words are the balm we all need. May his human story of overcoming the odds with the help of his massive intellect and dogged determination to survive help everyone navigate the challenges ahead. Never forget. Again.
