NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • United States Senator Cory Booker makes the case that the virtues of empathy, responsibility, and action must guide our nation toward a brighter future.

Raised in northern New Jersey, Cory Booker went to Stanford University on a football scholarship, accepted a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, then studied at Yale Law School. Graduating from Yale, his options were limitless.

He chose public service.

He chose to move to a rough neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, where he worked as a tenants’ rights lawyer before winning a seat on the City Council. In 2006, he was elected mayor, and for more than seven years he was the public face of an American city that had gone decades with too little positive national attention and investment. In 2013, Booker became the first African American elected to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.

In United, Cory Booker draws on personal experience to issue a stirring call to reorient our nation and our politics around the principles of compassion and solidarity. He speaks of rising above despair to engage with hope, pursuing our shared mission, and embracing our common destiny.

Here is his account of his own political education, the moments—some entertaining, some heartbreaking, all of them enlightening—that have shaped his civic vision. Here are the lessons Booker learned from the remarkable people who inspired him to serve, men and women whose example fueled his desire to create opportunities for others. Here also are his observations on the issues he cares about most deeply, from race and crime and the crisis of mass incarceration to economic and environmental justice.

“Hope is the active conviction that despair will never have the last word,” Booker writes in this galvanizing book. In a world where we too easily lose touch with our neighbors, he argues, we must remember that we all rise or fall together—and that we must move beyond mere tolerance for one another toward a deeper connection: love.

Praise for United

“An exceedingly good book, and an important book, and a reminder of what makes Booker an important and, through it all, a promising public figure.”—PolitickerNJ

“What sets Senator Booker’s work apart from that of similar political books is that it seeks to elevate discourse rather than bring down opponents of the opposite partisan persuasion. This is a refreshing take, one that is truly worthy of study and contemplation.”—The Huffington Post

About the Author

Cory Booker is the junior United States senator from New Jersey. He was born in Washington, D.C., and his parents, who both worked for IBM, later relocated the family to Harrington Park, New Jersey. A star high school athlete, Booker received a football scholarship to Stanford University, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar before earning his law degree from Yale University. Booker won a special election to fill the term of the late Senator Frank Lautenberg to become New Jersey’s first African American senator and only the twenty-first person in American history to ascend directly from mayor to senator. Booker lives in Newark’s Central Ward.

A Conspiracy of Love

Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go. —James Baldwin

I hate Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Okay, I don’t, I love him. But can I at least say that he is guilty of assault and battery on my ego? That he has a talent for inflating the egos of others only to deftly and without warning pop them . . . and then to sport a rascally grin, as if to say, What, did I do something?

And what was the transgression committed by this public intellectual, this Harvard professor of African American studies, this award winning filmmaker and author and editor of dozens of books? It was calling me up and offering me a dream, saying something like, Cory, hey, man, I’ve got this show called Finding Your Roots where we trace the ancestry of two individuals . . .

I knew about these shows, of course. The premise was to select well-known personalities—Oprah, Chris Rock, Barbara Walters, John Legend, Martha Stewart—and through research, DNA testing, and more, unearth their genealogical roots. The stories were fascinating and often shocking, complete with reveals in which guests lit up with joy or were struck with astonishment at the realization of who they are and where they come from. Many guests wept at the revelation. I think the good professor likes to make people cry on TV.

I figured he was calling me to invite me to a premiere.

Well, we decided to do a special about two elected leaders, he said, and I want you to be one of them. Interested?

I almost dropped the phone. Interested? Are you kidding? I’d love that. But are you sure?

He responded with something like, Absolutely. I thought it would be good to get someone from your generation, an up-and-comer . . .
He went on saying such nice things about me. I didn’t care whether or not they were true—they were compliments from a man I looked up to. As we talked, I was full of excitement at the prospect of having my genealogy traced. Then I thought of something.

“Can I ask who you’re pairing me with on the show?”

John Lewis, he said.

I said nothing. I might have stopped breathing. He repeated the name deliberately, perhaps to fill the silence, or maybe to stick it to me a bit more.

John Lewis.

Congressman John Lewis is a living legend, and a hero of mine and to many. He was born a son of sharecroppers outside of Troy, Alabama. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lewis left Fisk University to go to the front lines of the civil rights movement in America. He helped found and was eventually named chairman of one of the most important civil rights organizations of the time: the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Lewis organized voter registration drives and sit-ins; he led the Freedom Rides; he was a keynote speaker at the March on Washington. More than once he was beaten during his nonviolent protests. He was renowned for his humility, self-sacrifice, and leadership, and was seen by many as one of the most courageous people in the civil rights movement. Today Lewis serves in the House of Representatives; thanks to his moral stature, his grace, and his statesmanship, he is considered the conscience of the Congress.

All of which is to say that Henry Louis Gates Jr. had envisioned a show in which he would partner Jimmy Olsen with Superman.

I did the show, and—this is a phrase I don’t throw around lightly—it was life-changing. I’m profoundly grateful to Professor Gates for the opportunity. But of course any viewer could detect the difference between our introductions. In my head, I heard the announcer in a deep TV-ready voice:

John Lewis, hero of the civil rights movement, marching with grace and determination from Selma, Alabama, to the Edmund Pettus Bridge on what would become forever known as Bloody Sunday. He stood at the front lines of history, leading peaceful protestors, courageously standing and praying before Alabama state troopers. The troopers fired tear gas, then swarmed into the crowd, wearing gas masks and swinging billy clubs, hitting marchers, striking John Lewis in the skull. This righteous and courageous man literally bled the southern soil red for freedom. . . .

And then, in that same splendiferous voice:

And Cory Booker, of suburban New Jersey, riding his Big Wheel toward his family’s five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom house. He takes a turn too sharply . . . oh no! He falls off, skins his knee, and runs home screaming for his mother. He literally bled the northeastern soil red for . . . Big Wheel riders everywhere.

Like I said, I don’t hate Henry Louis Gates Jr., because he managed to put my life in perspective, in light of what came before, in light of where I came from, in light of our collective American heritage. Perhaps he didn’t know it (or perhaps he did), but this invitation and his revelations about my family gave me my first full glimpse of the beautiful, seemingly infinite lattice that connects us all. It compelled me to look closer, to see how my family’s journey intersected with and almost immediately benefited from John Lewis and all the others who marched onto that bridge. Their collective courage, leadership, and love helped to unlock a literal door for me and my family—they helped to secure for my family and me a New Jersey home.

I’ve said many times of my generation that we drink deeply from wells of freedom and opportunity that we did not dig, that we eat from tables prepared for us by our ancestors, that we sit comfortably in the shade of trees that we did not cultivate. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

My family worked to have me understand that there are two interrelated ethics critical for citizenship. One is that we all must take responsibility for ourselves, invest in our own development, strive for personal excellence. My family taught me that we are all responsible for our own well-being, our growth, and most of all our attitude: The most consequential daily decision you make, I was told, is the attitude you choose as you engage in your day.

If I was doing a shoddy job of cleaning out the garage, my mother would give it to me about working with the right attitude, about a commitment to excellence. I would hear echoes of the civil rights movement in her lectures about personal accountability, complete with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes tailored to the chore: “If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.’”

But my family also insisted that personal ethic must be seamlessly bound with a larger communal ethic, a sense of connectedness: a recognition that we are all a part of something and have reaped the benefits of the struggles waged by those who had an unwavering commitment to the common good. From my earliest days, I was informed that I was the result of a conspiracy spanning space and time—that billions of meritorious actions past and present yielded the abundance I enjoy.

These twin ethics—responsibility and connection—reverberated throughout my young life, especially when I started to enjoy personal success. In my last years under my parents’ roof, my father would watch me walking around the house with a particular degree of teenage swagger, and he’d make a crack: “Son, don’t you dare walk around this house like you hit a triple, ’cause you were born on third base.” Then I would inevitably hear stories about my father’s childhood: born poor, to a single mother, in the segregated South. He would detail the many people whose acts of kindness, decency, and love had enabled him to escape poverty and dislocation. He made it clear to me that I was—that we in this generation are—the physical manifestation of a conspiracy of love. The conspiracy of love wasn’t conducted with grand gestures or expansive deeds; it was powered by people who practiced consistent acts of decency that, when combined over time and with the acts of others, carried a transformational power. My father made it clear to me as a child that I was alive because of the relentless actions of humble people who will never make it into a history book but define the character of this country. He called on me to be such a person, to always remember that the biggest thing you can offer on any given day is a small act of kindness.

Impressive Call For Compassion

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

United is a powerful call for us to see ourselves in one another, to show kindness to each other every day, and to come together to work towards common goals. Most of the book highlights Sen. Booker's experiences interacting with the extreme challenges that exist in low-income, crime ridden areas, but also illuminates the courage and compassion of ordinary people who make extraordinary selfless fights for change. His advocacy for criminal justice reform, in which he sees room for political progress, embodies his call for compassion throughout the socioeconomic landscape. It is thrilling to see such a strong call for kindness in the US while partisan politics is so vitriolic and nasty. United is a reminder that even while there are stark differences between us, our human identity ought to supersede our hate. No man is an island: we stand not alone but on the shoulders of each other and those that have come before us.

My only criticism comes from the way in which I think the book was framed. Before buying it, I imagined it would be a deluge of evidence to support the idea that the best way to get something done in the political world is to treat other Congressmen and Congresswomen with compassion. However, it is less a book about political strategy and more about the particular experiences that Mr. Booker has had that has shaped his drive to advocate for the common good. While it is clear Senator Booker believes strongly in seeing the best of all people, he doesn't really engage in what would be most effective politically, which might be very important to many of us with utilitarian concerns about what is best for the most people. For example, it is possible that building off of the anger in the electorate will help more progressive candidates win, which would be good for many of the causes the Senator believes in. While not compassionate towards those in office, doing such a thing might create the best outcomes for people. I'm not sure if this is the case, but arguing for or against that claim is not the subject of United, and it is instead about his own personal path in becoming a compassionate and moral person.

A great read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

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.

Powerful but missing a piece...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

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 July”, 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.

A President in the Making? Read this book and judge for yourself.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

Almost 8 years ago I read Barack Obama’s “Audacity of Hope”, conscious that it was the first book by an aspiring political figure I had read; why, I wondered, had I not been inspired to read anything similar by a British politician? United is my next, and therefore still only my second, book by a contemporary politician. Cory Booker, former Mayor of Newark, NJ, and now the (Democrat) junior senator for New Jersey, is also an African American politician. While he increasingly well known in the US, and is talked of as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton, I don’t think I’d heard of him other than via the (American) Freakonomics podcast, which did an episode on him at the beginning of March, and had I think interviewed him a few time previously. He was billed as offering new approaches to achieve bipartisan approaches, having reached out to such right wingers as Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist and Rand Paul. Trying to reduce the US’s massive prison population is the principal common ground.

Some of the facts quoted in the book, while not coming entirely as surprises, were jaw dropping. The size of the American prison population, the extent to which America’s black population is the focus of this attention, the extent to which being an ex-convict, or even just having been arrested, makes it so difficult to earn an honest living thereafter, the fact that the minimum wage for (tip-eligible) waiting staff is just $2.13 per hour, made me gasp with astonishment. The UK is, sadly, not as different as it might be, but God help us if we follow the USA further in some of the dark directions Cory Booker shines a light on.

Booker’s is an inspirational book. If only half of it is true then he is an immensely energetic and committed man. I find every reason to believe that very much more than half is true, with the caveat that Booker’s relentless positivity about the people he has met along his political way, his optimism for the future, and his willingness to admit past mistakes are written at least in part to demonstrate his suitability for future, higher office. He has erred, but he has learned; he made enemies, but he won (most of) them back as friends. These are not bad attributes in a politician, or a potential president – neither of the likely two contenders, at time of writing Trump and Clinton, seem to be very good at either of those things, and either seems likely further to polarise American politics.

I almost decided to award 4 rather than 5 stars because I had hoped for by way of techniques for working towards the unity that Booker espouses. He shows how he successfully reached out to his own community (which sounds like it was hard enough!), but it is rather light on how to he proposes to unite the Republican and Democrat on matters other than the burgeoning prison population. I had been expecting more, but despite that caveat this book is well worth the read.

Whether Mr Booker will be offered the position of running mate by Hillary Clinton, assuming she wins the nomination, and whether it’d be in his best interests to accept it, remain to be seen. I suspect that we will hear more of him, even on this side of the pond, and in the meantime I look forward to his guest appearances on Freakonomics and occasional posts on Facebook. He is a man unafraid to confront the world the way it really is and to strive to make it better.

Plainly written hope for the future

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Cory Booker gives one hope that America isn't lost forever. If it can make it through the next 4-8 years then there are still those in the political system who understand that public service and self service are different things.

United talks not so much about the great things that Booker has done, although they are many, but more about those lesser known figures from the Newark, New Jersey community who have worked with far less acclaim to do the right thing by the neighbours, communities and city. This isn't a biography, but a collection anecdotes telling of his major influences and inspirations.

Through the lens of Booker's experience this is story of normal people going to unusual lengths to fight for equality, wellbeing and fair chance for all. That this book could inspire this white English, middle class reviewer to become more involved in community matters speaks volumes to the simple, powerful message that he has managed to convey.

Booker has spoken of how hard it was to write this book, but that isn't apparent from the writing which is assured, easy to read and well organised in a way that makes this ideal either to dip in and out of, or to finish in a single sitting. All the more impressive for that fact that is was written in the middle of the night whilst also working as an aisle crossing Democratic junior senator during the day.

In a very broken political system all over the world today, I found this book quite inspiring and a clarion call our generation in a time where we have seen people who will say anything just for the quest for power and political office, not minding stifling progress for selfish interest.

This book was insightful, thoughtful and worth reading!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Cory Booker has led an interesting life to date. He is also quite willing to show his less than stellar times and can be hard on himself. As a senator, he shows how involved in doing the right thing he tries hard to be while many try to derail him. His morals and values are exactly what this planet needs and I wish him the very best in his endeavors. A thoughtfully-written book and one I enjoyed very much. I also listened to him as he was a speaker at The Food Revolution Summit and was very impressed!
