Review of In It Together
I won’t lie. I was skeptical when I first got the book, but now I clearly understand its message and the liberation it brings. Its message is clear, firm, and concise, written in a way anyone can understand and I can sum it up in one sentence: You can become the person you want to be and accomplish what you want now. It’s not something you’ll get physically/materially at this moment, but you will be satisfied and fulfilled.
At the heart of the ‘In It Together’ message is love. Love that is divine and shown and not just spoken or done out of fear or responsibility but rather love that’s truly openly displayed without ever hoping to get something in return. It’s a love that you show, to people on the street, the angry boss who yells at you, or even your neighbor who hates you, without feeling empty but full of understanding as if you are them.
Upon recognizing these things, Hughes further explains. He shows the connection between the two yous. The ego you and the conscious you. It’s quite fulfilling when you realize that nothing lasts but you matter and so does everyone else. It changes the way you view you and other people. It's a peaceful thought that drives you until the end of your days. I have to say that some of the things mentioned weren’t new concepts to me because I’ve been practicing them in my daily life. But I was encouraged to know that this book existed for people out there who feel trapped in their choices, body, job, finances, school, relationships, and so on.
I wouldn’t say I agree with every word in this book. I’m not for the evolutionist views where we are animals or such. I think that’s a limiting concept to view yourself as and not true but the message moved me because it applies to everyone in their lives. So I’d say well done Hughes. It was an amazing ride to go through the rollercoaster of life in one sitting with your book.
It was rather pleasant to find no errors or typos in the book. I did find profanity, but it was used as an example. Therefore, I’d rate this book five out of five stars. All my reasons are above.
For those hoping to know more, I’d say grab a copy. It’s for all those seeking a bit of enlightenment. (The knowledge kind) If you enjoy self-help or healing books I’d recommend this to you and also for those looking for a fresh perspective on life.

Hi. You summarized this book very well. I like the ideas of love, community, and the two yous that were presented in the book. While reading this book, I felt that it was a cross between a book of philosophy and one of religion. I thought that the other you, the real you, the one that pushes away the you of the past and future away and focuses on the you of the present made a lot of sense to me. This is the you that I should strive to keep. This should be the you that I should continue to be until I die. I will love this you and share this you with the rest of humanity. It has been several months since I read this book. But this is the main take away I gathered from it: my interpretation of Hughes' ideas. I enjoyed reading your informative and positive review! Congratulations!Qwerty Writes wrote: ↑10 Oct 2024, 03:33 [Following is a volunteer review of "In It Together" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.]

I did find some refreshingly new concepts that I continue to apply to my daily life. I rate this one above many other self-help books which just rehash the same of stuff. I learned a lot about myself, and my attitude to others from this book.

I feel the same way. Our perspective doesn't agree with other people because we're different and that's why we're unique and awesome.

I understand and feel the same way about self help books. I don't read something unless I understand the jest of it.
Anaïs Quesson wrote: ↑17 Oct 2024, 03:04 Thanks a lot for this enlightening review, Qwerty, and congratulations on your first published review! I'm not sure if I will read this book, to be honest. I'm quite picky about self-help books, it depends a lot on my moods and motivation. (And I would much rather enjoy a piece of fiction these days!)

There are so many self-help books being churned out every single day that it's now rare that one encounters a good one. I am glad this book turned out to be an enlightening read. A great review. Looking forward to read more from you.
