Cory Booker's career
Booker is a depicted as a privileged individual throughout his life. For instance, he was born into a rich and respectable family despite being black. Similarly, Booker attended the best learning institutions, where he excelled in law studies. Ironically, instead of pursuing a law career where there is a lot of money, Booker surprised everyone when he made up his mind to join politics.
The satire of the world’s perspective
The author is definite that an individual is shaped by what he sees and believes. For instance, Booker argues that an individual, who believes that the world is terrible, dull and unfair, ends up living in misery. A person who sees the world from a positive perspective ends up happy and satisfied. Ironically, the reality is different because what matters is a balance between practicality and positivity in an individual's perspective about the world.
The irony of understanding
According to Booker, the most powerful vessel of change in all aspects of life is empathy. For instance, Booker reminds his fellow countrymen of the significance of only spreading empathetic and benevolence messages. Satirically, as much as being compassionate is a good tribute, living in a world where people only hear kind messages is tricky and dangerous. The reality should be put as it is. For instance, people should be told the naked truth and access all information, whether good or bad. Therefore, the ability to interpret compassionate and unkind messages is critical in enhancing critical thinking.
The satire of Booker as an inspiration
The reader cannot dispute Booker's achievements, as explained in the book. The book intends to motivate and inspire black Americans to pursue their dreams relentlessly. Satirically, the reader may not find the life history of Booker entirely inspiring because of his privileges. Booker is an individual who has not come across obstacles in life, such as racism and poverty. Booker explains that he could have whatever he wanted in this life because he came from an executive family. Obama is mentioned in the book, and readers conclude that he is their inspiration based on his life history and political career.
