Yes! I can agree with all the things in the book from a philosophical perspective. One example that I mentioned in the review is about the book's take on identity. There are indeed false identity, and we are our true selves when we strip ourselves off external identifiers.

Do you feel you understood every sentence in the book, In It Together? In other words, do you feel you understand what the author (me) meant by every single sentence in the book?

If not, please quote the very first sentence or very first paragraph you do not understand. Then I will do my best to explain and clarify what I meant by it.

When replying, please provide your best guess(es) about what you think the sentence probably means. Then, from there, I can let you know which of your guesses (if you have more than one) is correct or closest to correct and/or I can then, based on your guess(es), know what was missed or misunderstood to then know how to clarify it for you.

The book houses invaluable transcendental knowledge; it can change our lives for the better. I would recommend the book to every human.

However, there are things that I have struggled to understand. For example,

Hi, Eric DUSHIMIRIMANA,

This topic is not for posting "examples" of things you didn't understand.

It's only for posting verbatim quotes of the the very first sentence you didn't understand (i.e. the sentence closest to the beginning of the book).

The first time I read this book, I found myself struggling with accepting the concept that there is nothing that happens that should not have happened. However, rereading and reading some explanation as I look up the various posts in this forum, I got to accept the concept. I believe that the knowledge of the concept will allow one move on quickly after an incident one didn't desire to ever happen.

Yes, I understood every sentence in the book. The book also allowed my thought to do justice to the book.

I think this is the type of book where you've to read it 2-3 times to fully understand and introspect it.

At first I didn’t understand what you meant by “ One could even argue that the differences between most forms of dualism and monism are merely semantics." but I had to look up the words that sounded confusing like “dualism”, “monism” and “semantics” and I understand now. This is the second time I’m reading this book it changed my way of thinking each time. When I thought I have learned something, I discover I just know little each time I read the book again. Thank you for writing a book like this, honesty and integrity are the key points I picked.

Yes, it took me a while and sometimes I had to read a sentence more than 3 times and I understood every sentence. Your book is very inspirational.

I'm sure I misinterpreted a few words in this book when I first read it. I am certain that I understand everything in your book, though, having read it four times now. Although my knowledge on the subjects is not sufficient to qualify me as an expert, I feel confident in my comprehension of all you wrote in your book. It still serves as my source of inspiration.

In my first read, I did not understand everything about the book. But with time and while I read your posts on site and on social media, I began to understand your philosophy about. There are some concepts which I have to look at a broader perspective but not from an entirely perspective. In short, I agree with everything in the book.

I understand every sentence in the book, it made me think about every aspect of my life and my behavior while reading it. However, I believe this book can have a different lesson for everyone, even I could get a different lesson if I read it in a different time of my life and that is what makes me appreciate it the most.

I must confess that I didn't understand some of the ideas in the book when they were first introduced. But it didn't take time before my questions were answered and my doubts cleared. Yes, I do believe that humans have freewill. Whatever direction our lives take is as a result of the decisions and choices we made in the past.

Yes, I understood the book completely. It was clear and thought-provoking. You offered a fresh perspective on life, emphasizing its fragility and shared human experience. The book inspired me to reflect on my own mortality and appreciate the present moment. It's a truly impactful read."

I didn't really understand the title of this book "In it together" I would want to know what truly inspired it.

Yes , I understood everything in the book. The author did a remarkable job.

I understood every sentence in the book. I also enjoyed them and was totally immersed in them. It is wonderful.
