If philosophy is not among the basic needs( food, clothing, and shelter) of man, the question is: why should we care about it? We should care because it makes sense for us not to return to a place where the quest for knowledge does not inspire us.
Many have been asking about the usefulness of philosophy. One good answer is that it helps us fight to live a fulfilled life. In this book, the author gives tips on how to improve mental capabilities while leveraging intuition, practical application, and ancient philosophical reasoning.

Philosophy has been one area that doesn't interest me due to the arguments and partly because I feel it lacks practical application. This book made me understand the usefulness of philosophy and addressed topics like race, dogma, identity, etc.

This book is interesting because it features knowledge from authorities like Eckhart Tolle, sports psychology, breaking free from the dogma mindset, etc. Most parts of this book reference Buddhism and Christianity. Also, most of this book preaches unity and the need to avoid separation and superiority. Furthermore, this book was an eye-opener for me. I never knew the U.S. Constitution once had the 3/5 compromise embedded in it.

My only dislike of this book is how it presents the case of abortion. As a Christian, I believe the sanctity of life should be respected. If Ecclesiastes 4:2–3, which is referenced in this book, says the unborn are better than the living and the dead, then the opinion to legalize abortion should be revisited. Had Steve Jobs been terminated at childbirth, who knows when humanity would have had the gift of computers?

This book gave an analysis of happenings and what principles humans can leverage to live a happy life. The editing of this book was professionally done. The author wrote this book because he was tired of people mansplaining about his reality. Putting all the points above into consideration, this book receives a five out of five stars rating from me.

I recommend this book to philosophers and anyone interested in making their lives better through philosophy. Don't Identify With It: Beginning the Philosophical Journey Towards Self-Empowerment by H.T. Waters was an impactful read.

Philosophy, often seen as a non-essential compared to basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, still holds value. It helps us aspire to knowledge and live a more fulfilling life. This book offers tips on enhancing mental abilities, using intuition, practicality, and ancient philosophical wisdom.
