United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good by Cory Booker

5.0

Mr. Booker has been on my radar for a couple of years now; mainly because he’s 1) a vegan senator, and 2) the opposite of everything I’ve ever hated about politics. This man works from his ideals of compassion, respect, and faith, and the words he’d written here would mean NOTHING, if I hadn’t first seen these ideals displayed in his behavior and work.

This book has some flow issues that an editor should have fixed, but for the most part, it’s an inspiring glimpse into a life of service, and a spark that should light a passion for change. His constituents are blessed to have him in their corner, and I’ve enjoyed reading about his upbringing, his short-comings, his strategies, and his vision for how our great nation can live up to its potential, putting people first in a united cause.
