What, in your opinion, is the beautiful struggle uniting us all as humans? There is an internal battle going on in every human, an internal battle to do good or not, to be or not to be, which might unite us, but it is what separates us also because everyone responds differently to that internal battle; we make decisions differently and therefore end up differently. This book ponders a lot on the rationale behind human choices, and an instance is in cases where some eat in a stupor while there are millions of children out there starving to death. Or instances where there is a moral struggle to help someone we know needs help but are reluctant to get entangled. Which undoubtedly goes on in every human's mind and is an internal battle within every individual. The author not only ponders on rationale but also expounds on characteristics that will help us, in my opinion, become better humans that will help us to help ourselves so we can help others because you can't give what you don't have.

I know the world encourages us to dream big, but that doesn't include setting goals that overwhelm us to the extent that we don't even achieve one. I liked the concept of doing more by doing less propounded by the author in this book. I believe this is what many struggle with, and this dispels the concept of multitasking. I found myself pondering the validity of multitasking, and in recent years, I have come across other books that rebut multitasking. Another concept that got me pondering is the saying that there exists no problem called evil because there is no evil. To completely grasp this, read In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes, as the author shares his opinion on this concept, and you will be amazed by how much you might agree with this.

I disliked nothing about this book and loved that the author did not impose it on the reader but acted as a guiding light, revealing each part with clarity as the reader progressed with the book.

I rate this book five out of five stars because I disliked nothing about the book. I like how the book questioned the status quo before making conclusions. There are some established norms that should be done away with, but while this is done, we should never forget the place of discipline because I don't believe in not restraining our being and letting it lead us. We should carve out paths that we want it to follow and take the lead.

And so with that, I would recommend this book to people who love philosophical books, as this book applies reasoning to every concept.
