Everyone's life is full of trouble. Many people struggle to reach a state of inner peace. Is it possible? [I]In It Together[/I] might just be the answer. The author begins by writing about the problems in our world today. Problems of hunger, poverty, obesity, alcoholism, and others. He then goes on to explain the essence of man. The true nature of man, despite his superficial dress, whether literal or figurative. He undresses a person to the true self. In the following chapters, the author reconstructs the person he has undressed. Beneath every dress, the author finds a “true self”. The true self is the same for all. It transcends time and space. The true self is the origin of love, and love is the uniting factor. Unity brings inner peace. So let us be in it together! Finally, the author gives points on what to do to achieve inner peace.

I enjoyed reading the book. I liked how the author blends chapters into each other. A preceding chapter is a principle on which the following chapter is built. This gives the book a nice continuity. I also liked how the author presents his opinions. He does so with an astounding level of clarity. He also uses repetition to stress his points. This makes the book easy to read. I also liked how the author of In It Together is impartial and nonjudgmental. He also urges the reader to embrace others without hate. I also like the tone of the author. He uses a conversational tone. This makes the book interesting. One thinks they are in a literal conversation with the author. The author is honest. He presents everything as a truth in which he believes. He coerces no one to embrace his ideas. I liked that about him. The author also includes quotes from other people. For example, the quote from Vincent van Gogh's letter to his brother. These beautify the book.

I found the book a bit challenging to read. Some of the passages require prior knowledge of what the author writes. For example, the author uses some Greek mythologies which I hadn't encountered before. I had to look for them to understand the context in which they were being used. Despite this, I found the book interesting and enlightening. I also found some shockers which are worth looking into for yourself. For example, just imagine a fallacy in the golden rule! That's shocking! And on top of it all, the price tag on Amazon is the lowest it can get! This is great. I find [I]In It Together more praise- than critic-worthy.

Considering all of the above, I rate [I]In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes with five out of five stars. I found the book exceptionally well-edited. I couldn't give a star less as I enjoyed reading the book. I also found the book enlightening. [I]In It Together is a book of humanity!

I recommend [I]In It Together to a mature audience seeking inner peace. All of us are seeking inner peace. So I recommend this amazing book to everyone who can read and understand English. All those in struggles of life can find a way, inside this book. Even the discontented rich can benefit! So grab a copy and let us be in this beautiful struggle uniting us all. Let us be in it together!
