Cory Booker Civic Spiritual Evolution
The U.S. Senator. From merely tolerating each other to manifesting love. \u201cHope confronts.\u201d Self-care in a world \u201cso elegantly designed to distract you.\u201d Making your bed as a spiritual practice. \u201cWe\u2019re all more fragile than we let on.\u201d\nWe don\u2019t really reward or allow our politicians, good or bad, to be searching, or to change their minds and grow \u2014 to admit their human frailty. So it\u2019s surprising to hear Cory Booker say that the best thing that\u2019s happened to him is \u201cbeing broken, time and time again.\u201d He\u2019s taken flack for talking about politics as \u201cmanifesting love.\u201d He speaks with Krista about the inadequacy of tolerance, strengthening the \u201cmuscle\u201d of hope, and making your bed as a spiritual practice.\nCory Booker is a senator for New Jersey and the former mayor of Newark.
