Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future | Talks at Google

Diego Perez, aka Yung Pueblo discusses his book "Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future" where he 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.
