Review of In It Together
[Following is a volunteer review of "In It Together" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.]
Eckhart Aurelius Hughes, who is also known as Scott Hughes, has a really amazing yet controversial perspective on life. They may sound crazy before you read the book, but once you do, they begin to make sense. The one that drew me in and had me scratching my head was one that I saw on his post on Facebook with a link that led to his Online Philosophy Club discussing why we do not help those who are unfortunate. I was immediately interested and had to buy the book, "In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All." The book looks into the shared human experience of struggle, which is not just about personal battles but also societal and global issues. We all have an innate sense of empathy as humans, the book says, and this can be used as a foundation for unity. Eckhart Aurelius Hughes then delves into philosophical musings about human nature, consciousness, the distinction between the 'real' self and the 'false' self or ego, interconnectedness and unity, consciousness, and many other topics that touch on human life. I can't share everything that's in the book, so I'll leave it to you to read the rest.
I'm glad that the book touches on things that affect us as humans. For example, in one of the beginning chapters, Eckhart Aurelius Hughes explores the reasons why we often fail to help those in need. It's not due to a lack of empathy, Eckhart Aurelius Hughes says, but rather to a bigger issue of self-destructiveness and misplaced priorities. As I said earlier, if you had read some of the headlines without getting the full context, they would sound out of touch with reality. There are many things that I agree with in the book, and one of them is when Eckhart Aurelius Hughes asserts that we fail to get true happiness and freedom because we look for it in the wrong places. We often think that persistently pursuing our desires will give us true happiness, when we should actually be focusing on self-discipline and accepting reality. Overall, I found nothing to dislike about the book, and it has been exceptionally well edited. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because of that. I highly recommend the book to those who like philosophical books.
