Review of In It Together
[Following is a volunteer review of "In It Together" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.]
In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a meaningful commentary on the main questions arising in man’s life and an insightful analysis of life itself. In this work, Hughes moves to the question, of which strife does not come into the world but only struggles out of it—and uses the philosopher’s talks with two distinct acclaimed wise men: Socrates and Einstein. He likes to focus on the dichotomy between the soul and body aspects of a man and the role that the former’s decisions and predestination play in a man’s life. The major theme of the book is based on getting freedom from the spiritual world by overcoming materialism and enjoying life with love, happiness, and serenity. It covers topics familiar to all of us—hatred, wars, depression, conflicts in society, etc.—stating that all these ills arise from the ego and duly unjustified refusal of individuals to turn to their real fulfilled selves. Hughes restores hope as he leads his readers to the discoveries of the benefits of more self-discipline, being grateful, and forgiving as key facts that help to lead a happy and quiet life.
In my view, this book is informative and evocative. Overall, I don't have an objective reason to dislike any part of this book, and I’d rate it 5 out of 5 stars. Hughes has philosophical writing that focuses on the presentation and complete concept of civilization and mentality, and this makes it easy to comprehend his works. It is good that he makes a profound correlation between thoughts derived from past philosophers and his thoughts and thus generates an endless story that makes people reevaluate their existence.
Despite the comparatively serious and informative style of the narration, the book insistently drives you to try to move beyond the mere naming of things. Hughes’ touch of advising people to look inside and find out who they are before considering what they want appeals more to the present generation's mass experimenting with the bitter fruits of materialism. Perhaps the most thought-provoking topic discussed was the part where he talked about the “two yous” and the final appeal to people to love and forgive. In conclusion, this is a work that has been very well written and exceptionally well edited, and the author has shared a great success story that will help those people who seek purpose in their lives and want to transform them.
In It Together is going to appeal to readers who are into philosophy, personal development, and spirituality. Since the book broaches key concepts like the search for purpose, spirit and ego struggle, and the quest for transcendence, it would appeal to those who want to find out more about human existence. It is suitable for people who watch works that reflect on one’s life and the use of philosophy similar to Socrates and Descartes.
