'YUNG PUEBLO IS THE REAL DEAL - A MODERN SAGE AND GUIDING LIGHT' - VEX KING
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter offers a blueprint for deepening your compassion, kindness and gratitude so you can truly grow in harmony with another person and build stronger connections in all your relationships.
'Personal transformation that is grounded in self-love and has greater inner peace as the goal will naturally teach you how to love better. Seeing yourself clearly opens the door to compassion for yourself and for other people.'
Love enters our lives in many forms: friends, family, intimate partners. But all of these relationships are deeply influenced by the love we have for ourselves. If we see our relationships as opportunities to be fully present in our healing and learn to love one another better, then, Yung Pueblo assures us, we can transform and meet one another with compassion instead of judgment.
In How to Love Better, Yung Pueblo examines all aspects of relationships, from the rose-coloured early days when you may be hesitant to show your full self, to the challenges that can arise without clear communication, to dealing with heartbreak and healing as you close a chapter of your life. The power of looking inward remains at the core of Yung Pueblo’s teachings. Ego and attachment can become barriers in a relationship, so the more self-aware you become, the more you can support both your partner and yourself.
Yung Pueblo’s insights on embracing change, building a foundation of honesty, and learning to listen selflessly will resonate regardless of where you are in your healing journey. And his unique combination of poetry, personal experience and thoughtful advice will help you grow and strengthen all of your relationships.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Yung Pueblo (a pseudonym for poet Diego Perez) follows up Lighter with a down-to-earth explainer on how cultivating self-knowledge can foster more fulfilling relationships. Recalling how a meditation practice helped him and his partner better "understand what we genuinely needed from one another," the author calls on readers to use tools like meditation, breathwork, and therapy to fuel a "growth mindset" that involves releasing the ego and being open to change. With this mindset, readers can fine-tune their behaviors to "be more conducive to a harmonious relationship"—for example, by using arguments to practice "selfless listening," or letting "yourself be immersed in view of things" rather than silently preparing a rebuttal. While the author's tendency to repeat his central message that one must love oneself in order to love someone else can become wearying, fans will appreciate his tried-and-true advice, which is often paraphrased in prose poems at the end of each chapter ("The same defensive pattern that protected you before/ can stop a new connection from fully flourishing"). It adds up to a smart if at times familiar resource for revitalizing one's relationships.
