"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"--

 

Booklist Reviews 2022 October #1

Diego Perez, writing under the pseudonym yung pueblo ("young people"), lived in poverty with his parents, who emigrated from Ecuador and worked diligently to provide for their family. He turned to drugs and other pleasures to relieve his fears and depression. Terrified after a bad drug experience, yung pueblo made a commitment to turn his life around. Searching for the roots of his problems, he discovered meditation and Eastern religions. In this thought-provoking book, he proposes means of healing for both individuals and the world at large. He begins with self-love, which focuses on radical honesty, positive habits, and self-acceptance. This leads to suggestions for finding a practice, learning to let go, and changing reactions to observations. Free verse is interwoven within the text, and each chapter ends with a list of questions intended to spark thoughtful reflections. "As you make your mind lighter, the world will become lighter," says the author as he shares his journey to enlightenment and inspires readers to come along. Copyright 2022 Booklist Reviews.

PW Reviews 2022 August #5

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. (Oct.)
