Description
“We all have so much power that we don’t use. And I think it’s because of cynicism, which is a toxic spiritual state. Cynicism is a refuge for cowards.” –– Cory BookerWhy do so many of us choose to remain in a state of "sedentary agitation" about America's problems when there are so many things we could do to help?

And it surfaces again and again on this week's THINK AGAIN as Senator Booker and host Jason Gots talk race, poverty, hope, and apathy in America, 2016. Learn more about your ad choices.
