In It Together is a self-improvement book written by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes. The author aims first to establish the existence of a universal struggle that serves to unite humanity. Second, the author seeks to define this common struggle. Lastly, Eckhart proposes an effective strategy for working together in peace and love. The book delves into captivating and essential themes such as love, identity, spiritual liberation, and more. Regardless of your political, religious, or cultural affiliations, the wisdom contained in this book will likely offer fresh perspectives on yourself and the entire world. Get a copy of this book and understand the conflict between human flesh and spirit, underscoring the shared battle against pain, discomfort, and any other unpleasant human emotions.

Starting with fundamental yet underrated questions, this book addresses thought-provoking and intriguing concepts. It examines the disconnect between possessing the means to alleviate pain and the failure to act upon it. The introduction of the true self versus false self-binary initiates the philosophical exploration of defining traits versus non-defining traits. You will be surprised to learn that attributes that define you in various settings do not necessarily reflect your true identity. Reading this book is akin to the gradual unveiling of layers, leading to profound self-reflection, self-discipline, and ultimately, happiness. I invite you to explore the concept of 'Temporal Unity of Selves', which underscores the importance of loving oneself over time, requiring an appreciation of our past and future selves.

An overarching theme in this book is spiritual liberation. The author adeptly transitions the concluding chapters of this book into a practical guide, providing insights on freeing one's spirit and manifesting love. Eckhart presents a series of well-structured, logically explained, and relatable suggestions that apply to anyone seeking spiritual growth. This text lends itself easily to note-taking, contemplation, and active engagement with the author's ideas. The inclusion of wise quotes and contributions from notable figures such as David J Mauro and Voltairine de Cleyre enhances the book's diversity and credibility. These suggestions and instructions await your exploration.

Here are the positive aspects of this book. First, the author conveys the idea that our shared struggles hold more significance than our differences, fostering a sense of unity. Secondly, the author demonstrates receptiveness to criticism and acknowledges the potential for differing opinions among readers. Lastly, the book is written in simple language and has interconnected chapters that allow for standalone reading. There is nothing I dislike about this book.

The editing team did a great job; I encountered zero errors while reading. I hereby rate this book five out of five stars because of the positives mentioned above. I recommend it to lovers of self-improvement books.
