Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., talks about his new book, 'Crisis of the Common Good'

Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut believes the U.S. has come under the spell of six cults.

In his new book “Crisis of the Common Good,” Sen. Murphy argues that the country is in a spiritual crisis caused in part by worshipping profit over people.

Sen. Murphy shared with NPR’s Leila Fadel that the solutions to America’s biggest issues — or “cults” — could unite the country.
