Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

Coauthoring sounds exhausting. Trying to pull different opinions into one bound and publish book sounds incredibly draining. Unless it was something like a textbook where there is a set concrete path it needs to follow. Authoring a book in general is a laborious task and not intended for the fainthearted. I would assume that one would be at war with themselves trying to figure out what would be the best way of saying their intended message. I cannot imagine trying to pull together ideas with someone else, but if you had the same opinion of the direction of the book, it could work.
Coauthoring a book could be possible if you had a set direction of how the book would work and the two authors divided the book in very fair and systematic ways, then its possible.
Otherwise, I believe the beauty of the publishing and the reward of the fan base would not be the same if it is shared.
