Review of In It Together
"In It Together" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a deeply thoughtful book about who we truly are and how we're all connected. Hughes explores the idea that we aren't just our bodies or roles in society, but rather our inner consciousness, which unites everyone. The book encourages us to look within ourselves and recognise this connection.
Hughes doesn't push any religious or political views. Instead, he guides readers on a journey of self-discovery. He talks about the "two yous"—the external self and the true inner self—and helps us understand the difference between them.
One of the best parts of the book is how Hughes uses personal stories and universal truths. His writing is engaging and often funny, making complex ideas easier to understand. The book includes quotes from many famous thinkers, like Albert Einstein and Shakespeare, adding depth to his points.
Hughes also highlights some shocking statistics about global issues like hunger and overconsumption, making us think about our roles in these problems. These realities serve as a backdrop for his deeper questions about love, inner peace, and what it means to truly exist.
The book offers practical advice, with eleven key suggestions for finding inner peace and spiritual freedom. These include avoiding negative language and practicing acceptance and forgiveness. Readers are encouraged to try these suggestions slowly to see the benefits.
"In It Together" isn't a quick read. Hughes suggests reading it twice to fully grasp its lessons, and many readers find that each time they read it, they learn something new. While some ideas might seem hard at first, Hughes' clear explanations make them easier to understand. I didn't find any errors.
Some philosophical ideas might be challenging, but Hughes uses helpful metaphors and detailed explanations. Some readers might struggle with his idea that there’s no good or evil, only our perceptions assigning value to events. I didn't find anything to dislike in this book.
This well-edited book is great for anyone interested in philosophy, self-discovery, and personal growth. It's best for adults because of some mature themes and occasional strong language. However, its lessons can benefit many people, including young adults and those dealing with anxiety, who are looking to understand their true selves.
In conclusion, "In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes" is an insightful and thought-provoking book that encourages us to look beyond the surface and explore our true consciousness. With its mix of personal stories, philosophical insights, and practical advice, it's a valuable read for anyone on a path of self-discovery and inner peace. I give this book five out of five stars and highly recommend it to those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their connection to others.
