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 surprisingly eye-opening and explanatory book about human existence. The book is not overly philosophical, yet it goes over very deep and meaningful aspects of human existence. Hughes goes over the horrible circumstances people around the world have to live in, explaining why we, as individuals, refrain from taking action toward better conditions most of the time. The author talks about two selves in a person: the conscious and the ego. The discussions about the features of each of them are very interesting and thought-provoking. The readers are encouraged to take steps towards their better selves and understand their struggles.
This was one of the most eye-opening books I’ve ever read. I loved how the author discussed each topic in detail without boring the readers. Most of the information that Eckhart provided was very new and intriguing to me. The book doesn’t tell you the way you should be. It helps you look reality in the eyes and strive for the better. Through a thorough explanation of each complex topic, the author slowly takes the readers to a self-driven realization of the roots of their problems. This is probably one of the most loving and peaceful books I’ve ever read. The whole book kept me intrigued, getting to know the author better through the complex analysis of humans and their consciousness, and once I got to the end of the book and read a little about the author’s background, the whole book made sense all of a sudden. I was wondering how the author realized the expressed outlooks in the book, and the background brought light upon this aspect too, so the whole book became more unified and valuable. I was also overjoyed by the book’s great editing, as I didn’t come across any errors. The author’s ideas were very interesting to me, and they agreed with my own opinions and ideas. This made the book even more meaningful to me.
There was absolutely no negative aspect to this book. It was eye-opening and provided much-needed consensual guidance. If anything, the book might be a little hard to understand for those who are not advanced in English.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for its flawless editing, great value, informativeness, openness, and all the above-mentioned aspects.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy having deep conversations about human behavior and the world around them or are interested in philosophy. Even though the book is not much of a philosophical one, it still packs great knowledge and advanced diction. “If the word 'suffering’ simply means having unfulfilled desire, then to be human is to suffer.” I think this citation will do a great job of hinting at whether you would be a fan of this book or not. I am sure many people will enjoy it just as much as I did.
