Not Enlightened, But Lighter with Yung Pueblo

Description: It can be so tempting to be pessimistic about our present moment. But poet Diego Pérez believes that we live in an unprecedented time of global healing. Pérez publishes his poems using the pen name Yung Pueblo, or “young people,” because he believes that humanity as a whole is still young and has a lot of maturing to do. In his new book, "Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future," Pérez shares his personal path to healing from addiction and lays out practices to help us cultivate what he calls structural compassion. In today’s episode of Life As It Is, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief James Shaheen and cohost Sharon Salzberg sit down with Pérez to talk about the connection between personal and global transformation, the difference between self-love and narcissism, and what gives him hope about our present moment.
