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: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a non-fiction book about the philosophy behind why people are the way they are, and how we can adjust our thinking in order to work together to create a better world. This is a book written for everyone, regardless of sex, gender, religion or political orientation. Throughout the book, Eckhart breaks down the reader’s outside appearance and urges us to focus on our soul and what is inside. Afterall, we are all the same at our most basic form. In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All is thought provoking and includes humor paired with more serious notions to keep the reader engaged and thinking.
I enjoyed this book very much. The way Eckhart breaks down his thoughts into shorter paragraphs and sections makes it easy to follow and gives the reader time to think on what he or she just read. One of the sections that really resonated with me was “We Can’t Help Starving Children Because We Can’t Help Ourselves.” In this section Eckhart reiterates the importance of the Golden Rule. If we aren’t treating ourself with kindness and the way we would like others to treat us, we can’t fully empathize and treat others with respect and kindness. This really stuck with me and I thought about it as I was reading the rest of the book. I am also a huge fan of a beautiful book and the book jacket and the cover are gorgeous.
I didn’t find negative aspects of the book. There was no sexual content, no profanity and I did not find any errors.
I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I really appreciated the humor and references to Star Wars and Shakespeare throughout the book. This helped me to stay engaged and made the book more enjoyable. Some philosophy books can be a bit daunting especially to readers who do not have a wide range of philosophical knowledge. However, the way Eckhart wrote this book made it less daunting and sparked a lot of curiosity. I took my time reading this book because there was always something to reflect on and a new task to implement in my life.
I would recommend this book to readers who are mature enough to understand philosophy and Eckhart’s vision of uniting the world. Teenagers under the age of eighteen may not be ready to truly grasp what the book is teaching. I also believe this would be a great text for college philosophy courses. It is not only thought provoking but leads to a better understanding of the world.
