What defines wisdom in a person? Is it their intelligence or their emotional depth? What motivates us as human beings? How do we make our decisions? Have these questions ever crossed your mind? If you find yourself grappling with such inquiries or if you're someone who struggles with decision-making, Barry E. Ives' book, We Belong To Each Other, offers valuable insights into these complex issues.

The book begins by exploring the historical perspective that intelligence and morality were once considered synonymous. It challenges this notion by illustrating that being intelligent does not necessarily equate to being morally sound. Furthermore, Ives delves into the nature of decision-making, discussing how reliable and logical individuals still face influence from emotional, social, and other external factors. The text also explores sexual behaviors and their implications, adding another layer to its examination of human nature.

One minor issue I encountered while reading was that I occasionally felt like I was revisiting the same material due to similar wording and concepts. Although this did not significantly detract from the overall experience, it could potentially confuse some readers who might find the repetition disorienting.

The book is free from profanity but does tackle explicit subjects related to sexual behavior, which may not be suitable for younger audiences. Its complexity and depth suggest it is better suited for mature readers who can fully grasp its content. Consequently, I would not recommend this book for children due to its advanced themes.

Personally, I found the book to be enlightening, especially in understanding my own traits as a self-described people-pleaser. Although the book’s insights contradicted my own experiences of a secure and normal childhood, it still offered practical advice on earning respect and self-empowerment.

I noticed only one minor error in the text, but given the book’s brevity—completed in just three hours—this minor flaw seems forgivable. The concise nature of the book might contribute to its relatively error-free status.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading We Belong To Each Other. It provided thought-provoking content and practical advice, earning a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

There are many different kinds of intelligence, and exploring the history of what used to be defined as intelligence sounds fascinating. Considering everything that is involved with making decisions, I don’t think it’s accurate to equate it with intelligence. Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[Julie Marie Basil]

This sounds like a fascinating book. I can understand how the repetition could detract from the reading experience, but am glad to hear that you enjoyed it overall.
