Yung Pueblo, LIGHTER: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future

Zibby interviews #1 New York Times bestselling author Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) about Lighter, a compassionate, humble, and wise guidebook for self-healing that is beautifully entwined with his personal experiences. Yung Pueblo shares his story–his family’s immigration from Ecuador to Boston, the trauma of living in poverty, the escape he found in parties and drugs, and how hitting rock bottom forced him to change. He describes the power of meditation and self-love not only as drivers in his own recovery, but also as necessary pieces in the healing of all humanity. Finally, he talks about his company (Wisdom Ventures), the book he is currently obsessed with, and his best advice for aspiring authors.
