Review of In It Together
In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes explores human challenges and the search for inner peace and spiritual freedom. The author encourages readers to find happiness and contentment in the present moment, whether it involves enduring current difficulties for future joy or simply embracing current happiness. The book concludes with insightful suggestions aimed at helping readers appreciate their current state and recognize their inherent beauty and contentment, rather than resenting hardships as they work towards future aspirations.
Starting with basic yet often overlooked questions, this book tackles deep and interesting ideas. It looks at why we sometimes have the ability to ease suffering but don't use it. It begins with the idea of our real selves versus the images we show others, starting a philosophical journey into what makes us who we are versus what doesn't. You might be surprised to find that traits that define you in one situation don't always show your true identity. Reading this book is like peeling back layers, leading to deep thinking about yourself, self-control, and finally, happiness. I encourage you to explore the idea of 'Temporal Unity of Selves', which shows how important it is to care for yourself over time by appreciating who you were and who you will become.
This book is full of valuable lessons, wisdom, and knowledge, which is why I liked it so much. It feels easy to understand and familiar because of the author's clever writing. One important lesson is that doing less is often better. You'll perform better and avoid burnout by focusing on fewer tasks rather than trying to do everything. A person who focuses on quality over quantity usually achieves more than someone who tries to do too much. From my own experience, trying to do too much often results in nothing getting done. Sometimes it's better to succeed in one thing than to fail in many. It's wise to make fewer promises but to keep the ones you do make, because making too many promises sets you up for failure.
I have no criticisms of this insightful guide on positive thinking. Hughes clearly took his readers into consideration when writing this book. I also found no errors in the book, showing that it was well-edited. Therefore, I give it a perfect 5-star rating.
