Review of In It Together
[Following is a volunteer review of "In It Together" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.]
"In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a fascinating book that combines ideas from psychoanalysis and Zen to show us how to find inner peace. It's not your typical self-help book but rather a guide to understanding yourself and achieving peace without needing therapists or religious practices.
The book's 224 pages emphasise that our biggest enemy in achieving peace is often ourselves. By practicing sympathy, forgiveness, and acceptance, Hughes argues that we can all find inner peace. The book encourages us to realise that we are our consciousness and to practice true conscious love, helping us to discover our "real" selves. When we remove the clutter of societal expectations and false beliefs, we can achieve spiritual freedom and inner peace.
One of the key messages is to live with love for ourselves and others and to be present in the moment. The book offers useful tips in later chapters, though much of this advice is common sense. The positive message throughout makes it hard to find any negative points. The book is well-edited, with no offensive material or errors, although some readers might find the concepts of duality and space-time a bit challenging.
Overall, this book is an excellent read. It blends Zen, space-time, and psychoanalytic theory in a way that resonates with many, including those who practice Buddhism or other religions. It's a great recommendation for anyone seeking inner peace, interested in spirituality, or who enjoys self-help books.
The book also addresses the importance of being kind to ourselves and others. It reminds us that perfection doesn't exist and that we should be content with who we are. In today's world of social media and trends, it's a refreshing reminder to be our true selves. It highlights the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and living with the consequences.
However, some parts of the book feel repetitive, with similar points being made multiple times. Despite this, it remains a valuable read, especially for those in their 20s and 40s, offering insights for both young adults and those experiencing a midlife crisis.
Hughes' book is filled with inspirational quotes and practical advice. It's clear that the author genuinely cares about the reader's journey to happiness. While some ideas might seem overly simplistic, the book provides a roadmap to finding inner peace, though some readers might wonder how to apply these tools in daily life.
As a reader, I found the book challenging and transformative. It made me question my beliefs and offered a refreshing perspective on life.
The book's unconventional approach to love, acceptance, peace, and growth is refreshing. It encourages introspection and self-acceptance, making readers aware of how past experiences shape their inner voice. While some moments might be uncomfortable, they are necessary for growth. This book is enlightening and entertaining, earning a five out of five star rating. I like everything in this book.
"In It Together" is ideal for anyone seeking inner peace, ready to explore their psyche, or wanting to break free from societal constraints. It's a must-read for those open to change and willing to let go of negative programming. The book's wisdom and unique approach make it a valuable addition to anyone's reading list.
