Review of In It Together
In It Together is a thought-provoking book by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes. It is a perfect read for those who are not afraid to ask and be asked questions, challenge their previous beliefs, and embrace the truth and new ideas. This book aims to prove that there is a common struggle uniting the entire human race, examine and define that struggle, and present an effective strategy for working together in peace and love. Politics, history, religion, gender-based issues, and human identity are some of the major themes in this book. Inspired by the brave acts of renowned activists such as Voltaire, Eckhart highlights the beginning of this struggle and the responsibility that the current generation has in achieving a peaceful coexistence.
An opening quote from Ram Dass opens the pages of this book with a perfect blend of poetry and wisdom. Enough details in its introduction allow the reader to continue or stop reading. Eckhart takes us through the 'Two Yous' concept, where he presents a list of defining and non-defining traits that differentiate the real you from your ego. After gaining a better understanding of your identity, you will learn about the three relationship types that exist between your past and future selves. Eckhart emphasizes that there is a need to unify the entire human race under the broad umbrella of true conscious love, conscious empathy, and self-awareness. He uses simple and relatable examples to explain three relationship parameters between spatial selves. Other interesting and controversial topics in this book include the element of temptation, the problem of evil, and the potential conflict between the 'Two Yous'.
Since every struggle can lead to enslavement, Eckhart wrote about spiritual liberation. To teach us how to free our spirits and manifest love, the author presents eleven suggestions that if embraced with an open mind will showcase the beautiful diversity that emerges from freedom. These suggestions revolve around crucial aspects of human life such as honesty, acceptance, sacrifices, forgiveness, love, and hate. I love how the author acknowledges that readers may agree or disagree with his thoughts and clarifies his intentions throughout the book. He also uses relatable examples, rational arguments, and simple language to explain complex topics, making his message clear to a broad audience. I noted the inclusion of wise words and quotes from other renowned philosophers, scientists, religious leaders, and politicians, which adds diversity to this book.
The editing team did well; I encountered no errors in this book. There is nothing I dislike about this book to deny it a perfect rating. I rate it five out of five stars because it is insightful and educational. I recommend it to lovers of self-improvement books.
