Lighter: Yung Pueblo in Conversation with Elena Brower

Oct 7, 2022


Join New York Times-bestselling author Diego Perez — a.k.a. Yung Pueblo — for a conversation with bestselling author, poet, and artist Elena Brower about his inspiring and deeply personal new book, Lighter. Yung Pueblo has captivated millions of readers with short, stripped-down poetry about everyday moments of inspiration and triumph. But that isn’t the whole story. Following his path to deep healing through meditation and self-compassion — after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body — Lighter offers a path forward for anyone who wants to let go of heaviness and embrace the present. Hear him candidly discuss his journey to healing, striving for what he calls “structural compassion,” what inspires him to write, and more.
