Booker does a fantastic job of connecting anecdotal moments from his time on city council and as mayor to give life to infuriating realities that Michelle Alexander conveys in her work, The New Jim Crow; furthermore, he connects to themes that promote reforms within the criminal justice system that Bryan Stevenson has dedicated his life’s work to rectify.There is a refreshing theme of humility throughout this book that was not always evident in Booker’s “larger than life†presence when he was first elected as mayor. Despite “having more degrees than the month of Julyâ€, Booker acknowledges a difference between schooling and education since many of his most revered mentors throughout his post-academia journey lacked the prestige tied to so much of the education portion of his resume. Booker’s recognition of the prevalent “poverty of empathy†is powerful, his connections to Gandhi and Martin L. King are uplifting; however, there are moments of hopeless that he conveys without resolve - clearly, he has much work ahead of him.Though I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, I was really disappointed that there was no mention of lessons learned from successes and failures of education reform - specifically the $100 million from Facebook. This was such a highly publicized segment of his mayoral tenure before he took the vacant senate seat. As an educator, it made me think that the political tensions around this topic could not plausibly be "United".Regardless, I hope Senator Booker continues to write because his prose is passionate. It made me believe that he does have the power to uplift the masses to unite through an "interdependence" that he beautifully conveys through both personal anecdotes and parables.
I listened to the audiobook version, which is narrated by the author. Booker's purpose for the book was to help the reader understand his own personal mission in the government and how he hopes to help better the lives of Americans. He illustrates his family's journey through segregation and the combination of hard work, kindness, and luck that helped to get his family (and him) to where he is today. He discusses his own work in Newark and the various people who influenced him. He avoids name-dropping his celebrity friends and instead highlights the people who were on the ground doing the work when he came along to offer his help and his vision.I appreciated the fact that Booker highlights many of the mistakes he made during the journey from Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law School graduate to Newark mayor and later U.S. Senator. Not only did he make mistakes in his approach and vision as to what he could accomplish when he first moved into Newark, but talks about mistakes that led to significant consequences. He perspective on helping alleviate poverty and racial division is inspiring and it is obvious that he is still the optimist, despite nearly twenty years of public service.The only criticisms I have are that 1) he can be a little repetitive with facts/data/sayings through the book and 2) that he did not provide a list of sources for the data he cited in the book. I know on a recent interview someone mentioned that and he said they have the information but decided not to put it in the book because it can be easily recalled online, but citations would have been preferred for me.
Cory Booker seems to be putting his money where his mouth is, so to speak. He’s very well educated and could have done any kind of law he wanted. Instead, he moved into a poor neighborhood in Newark, NJ, intending to help the community. That he has done. He listened, learned, and took action on some of the toughest problems faced by these people: poverty, violence, racidivism, pollution, depression, and discouragement. I had to admire the way he approached these problems, coming up with things to try, instead of just throwing up his hands and giving up, as many other politicians have done. This is how he rose through the ranks to the US Senate. I learned a lot by reading his book. I hope more people embrace his determination to conquer, not run away from, some of these problems.
This book was fun to read and it was great to get familiar with what's happened in Cory's life since high school. We went to High School together. He wouldn't remember me, but I certainly remember him and his brother Cary. Always had a bit of a crush on the both of them!The book is well written, and Cory is an amazing person. He takes you through his journey of getting a real life education in how to help people in very challenging situations. Highly recommended.
Wonderful, Wonderful book. I highly recommend this book. Refreshing "Political" read. It makes you believe that Politicians are and can be honest and down to earth. In this Presidential year we can trust someone again. I do hope Senator Booker will run for Governor in NJ and all the way to the President of the United States.. This book is not about being a Republican or a Democratic, it is about the understanding of doing the right thing, and following your beliefs (and your gut feeling) My daughter is 14, and is in the 8th grade, she is being subjected to the "nasty" debates, I am going to have her read this book, and her father and I will sit down for dinner, yes, without her iphone and discuss the book. This book in my house won't just be read one time and put away on the bookshelf to gather dust, I will read it every time I start to feel angry or disappointed in our politicians. Thank You Senator Booker for being REAL.
Need to clarify my star rating. Book was great read. Very impressive bio....until you see and hear the man in action. Huge disappointment!
I was impressed with Booker's detailed account of the lessons his parents taught him growing up. Booker pays homage to the mentors he had along the way in Newark as well. This is someone that has always seemed to be more genuine than the rest of the politicians he works with. Looking forward to seeing what more he will do in the years ahead.
