Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
A radically compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world, from the New York Times bestselling author of Clarity & Connection
“During the years when I had abandoned myself, my mind felt undeniably heavy. I knew I needed to find a clear way to help me feel lighter.”
Yung Pueblo’s path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it's one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible.
In Lighter, Yung Pueblo demonstrates how we can all move forward in our healing, from learning self-compassion to letting go to becoming emotionally mature. As the heaviness falls away, our minds will finally stop feeling overburdened with tension and we’ll be able to reconnect with the present. And the world around us will hopefully become more inviting in crisp and newly vibrant ways. But these are just the first steps. As we grow stronger and expand our self-awareness, it’s our responsibility—and also part of the healing journey—to take actions to support the health and harmony of all people. The final section of Lighter shows how we can and must contribute to building a world that is no longer structurally harmful but, instead, structurally compassionate.
Yung Pueblo’s hope is that as more of us heal, our actions will become more intentional, our decisions will become more compassionate, our thinking will become clearer, and the future will become brighter.

August 29, 2022
Instagrammer Pueblo (Clarity & Connection), the pen name of Diego Perez, delivers inspiring if rose-colored musings on spiritual healing. He offers personal anecdotes and meditations on how to achieve transformation by looking inward and explores the “healing of the individual as you cross deeper thresholds and move from human habit to human nature.” The author recounts how a medical crisis sparked by drug abuse in his early 20s led him to realize he had been using drugs to “cover up a void in myself that I did not have the courage to face.” Describing how self-love helped him improve, he recommends practicing “compassion, honesty, and openness” with oneself and letting go of emotional baggage to enable personal growth. Pueblo attempts to scale up these principles to mixed effect, advocating for such thoughtful policies as participatory budgeting and town halls to foster community alongside naive pleas to combat war, racism, and patriarchy with compassion. Readers will appreciate Pueblo’s candor about his struggle to love himself, though his irrepressible optimism proves a double-edged sword: it’s uplifting when focused on the self, but inadequate when applied to systemic injustice. Still, Pueblo’s fans will be grateful for the guidance.
