Review of In It Together (2nd Edition Hardcover from B&N)
Nobody talks about the struggle that comes with accepting oneself. Self-love, inner peace, and self-value seem to be lacking in recent times. We have a lot of people smiling but dying inside. In this book, readers will find the motivation they need to smile genuinely. Readers will also find the courage to abandon some archaic views and ask themselves meaningful questions that might help with building self-awareness and appreciation.
The book In It Together (2nd Edition Hardcover from B&N) by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a stimulating read that encourages readers to consider everything they value in life. The author urged readers to adopt new perspectives of themselves and other people. In addition to the author's philosophical tales, we also find quotes and other wisdom from a wide range of thinkers. In this book, the central theme is love and how, if we let it, it could lift us all. According to the author, history cannot be changed. So why not just accept the past as it is? Hughes often repeats the phrase "it is what it is" throughout the book. The author also believes that we have artificial and original selves. Pick up the book to get his description of what an artificial self and an authentic self mean.
With intriguing, unique, and yet thought-provoking teachings, there was a lot to glean from this book, and I found nothing to dislike about it. At first read, it was easy to find the book quite abstract to read, but something kept pushing me till I grasped the book's concept. From there, it was smooth sailing. The author's writing style has a way of connecting readers to his thoughts. He wasn't telling readers the “dos and don'ts” that he believed would work for them; instead, he gave readers advice and reasons why we should consider the advice, and I believe that's what true leadership is about (not forcing your thoughts on others). I think the author has done an excellent job of delivering an insightful and relatable book.
One of the reasons I enjoyed reading In It Together is that it reflects my worldview and offers excellent advice on developing a tranquil outlook on life. The “examination of self” the author proposes is comprehensive. The subtle gesture with deep meaning encourages you to search honestly within yourself while softly leading you to discover your truth. This book was supportive and energizing while maintaining a helpful and non-preachy tone. A general message of optimism is at the heart of it. The author's viewpoint about the inner self was revelatory.
I enjoyed reading this book, and I don't regret the time I spent reading it. Additionally, I found no errors and can categorically state that In It Together received exceptional editing. As a result, I will give the book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to everyone who is finding it difficult to accept their true selves and to those who want to find inner peace.
