I've been writing a work of non-fiction, specifically a motivational/psychology piece. It's my first book. The book is written primarily in second and third person, but also first when I feel the need to speak directly to the reader. For my writing process, I'm a fan of letting it flow and worrying about stuff like tenses/phrasing later. **Is it inconsistent or unheard of to use all three perspectives? Or is it more usual to edit and remove second person in favor or third?** Example: when **we** let go of our ego...blah blah blah. Every time **you** release this, a new part opens up. **I've** seen the changes in my life when....blah blah blah.
