Review of In It Together (2nd Edition Hardcover from B&N)
[Following is a volunteer review of "In It Together (2nd Edition Hardcover from B&N)" by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.]
In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a philosophical book about finding who you really are and how the real you relate to others. It is a book about accepting who you really are without defining yourself with your career or material possessions. It shows the readers how we are all interconnected and how that knowledge can empower us to be more confident in forming relationships with others.
This is a beautifully written book, and I particularly appreciated the way the author broke down the complex philosophical ideas into simpler language that anyone can understand. I liked that the book was compassionate toward the readers; it was almost a form of therapy. I related most to the part where the author discusses being a prisoner and an addict of the comfort zone. The author states that “fleeting comfort is not contentment,” and I couldn’t agree more. Although being a prisoner of the comfort zone myself, I can relate to the common battle of overcoming that addiction. As the author states so correctly, we get caught up in the lie that the current comfort medicating our discontent is what brings us happiness. Another concept I found intriguing was how we view our future selves. If we can see our future selves as a conscious person and choose to love that version of ourselves, we will be more likely to make better decisions today that will have a positive effect on us tomorrow. I also like that the book doesn’t force any religious or philosophical idea down the reader's throat. The author uses a unifying theme throughout the book that relates to anyone and everyone.
There wasn’t much that I disliked about this book. Some of the concepts were repeated several times, but they seemed appropriate in most situations. I did not come across any grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors, so the book was exceptionally well edited.
I rate this book five out of five stars as I found it to be an excellent book.
I would recommend this book to everyone as I believe we can all get something out of it, and it can relate to anyone. You don’t have to be a philosophical person to understand the concepts. This book is applicable to anyone, regardless of religion or background. It is helpful to keep an open mind while reading the book and apply your own religion or beliefs to the concepts. This book helps you to understand yourself and your role in this world.
