In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All
"In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All" is a book about realizing the uplifting and unifying power of love, of true conscious love. It shows that deep down we are truly—and literally—one and the same. The book shows how the phrases "self-discipline" and "spiritual freedom" refer to the exact same thing. In the way the book uses the terms, to be "self-disciplined" is to be "free-spirited", and vice versa. This is a book that uses a friendly, kind, loving, and humorous tone to tie together philosophy, spirituality, and self-help with long-standing universal truths from all ages, regions, and times. It includes quotes from a diverse array of philosophers, artists, scientists, and spiritual teachers, including but not limited to, Albert Einstein, Alan Watts, Carl Jung, Osho, Sam Harris, Ram Dass, Meister Eckhart, Eckhart Tolle, Rabbi Tina Sobo, Friedrich Nietzsche, David J Mauro, Vincent Van Gogh, George Bernard Shaw, Socrates, Voltaire, Voltairine de Cleyre, Jesus, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Shakespeare, René Descartes, Rev. Dr. John Watson, and both a prisoner named Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as well as the man who imprisoned him. This book was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign run before the book was even written. It was inspired by the question, "What is the opposite of temptation?" The book answers that question and so many more. Without preaching, the book provides a unifying, loving, and deeply compelling message that paves a path to inner peace, true happiness, and spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline). The reader is left empowered, motivated, and inspired. As the opening letter in the book states, "Stay strong, my friends. There's beauty in the struggle. There's so much to overcome, but imagine what it could mean to overcome it."

| Review | In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All (2nd Edition) by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes is a non-fiction book that combines self-help with philosophy. This is a great book for anyone looking for explanations for most of the things that happen around us. Eckhart starts this book with a thought-provoking question and then slowly eases into the main contents of the book, such as "how to free your spirit and manifest your love." This book is divided into around thirteen parts. The author starts by mentioning that, although we may be physically different, we, as humans, share a common struggle. As humans, we are all on the same side of this struggle. From here, the author explains why people suffer and why we can't help those who suffer the most. In this book, the importance of true conscious love and spiritual freedom is emphasized. This is one of the best philosophy books I've ever read. What I like most about this book is that every time I reread it, it seems like reading a whole new book! I've lost count of how many times I've read and reread it. I also like how the author introduces the book and eases readers in by starting with simple and agreeable concepts and then proceeding to seemingly more complex and controversial philosophies. Because of this structure, the whole book flows so well, and everything just falls into place. After reading it once or twice, this book can also act as a great reference book, especially for those in the early stages of seeking spirit |
