Yung Pueblo is the pseudonym of Diego Perez, who was born in Ecuador, raised in Boston, lived in New York City, and returned to Massachusetts. He was inspired to write this body of work after seeing the power of healing and transformation while attending a silent vipassana mediation course. He and his wife continue to meditate. There were a lot of poems that I loved, and here are a few of my favorites: I love the whole idea about the book, the execution not so much. I don't even know what the books was supposed to be. It's more self help than poetry, is it really just poetry because of the format it was written?

In such an unknown time for the world, this book has helped me, by focusing on the positive while so much negativity is out there. So much healing needs to be done by us all singularly and together. The poems read like self help platitudes in free verse form or in long paragraphs. Nothing particularly special or sparkly or piercing about the language. A lot of the poems are repetitive—the same ideas expressed multiple times throughout the volume without much meaningful variation.

As a self help book this book would have worked so much better for me, longer text, more details to everything, not so many repeats (that made me feel like we are running in circles), and this book would have at least been a 4 star read. Vielleicht hab ich das Buch auch zur falschen Zeit gelesen. Ich bin traurig, ich wollte das Buch so sehr mögen. I think what I liked best about this book is that encourages community without having to compromise self, and many time self-help books tend to overlook community, love, accepting your emotions and how these three things are an important part of healing. From the celebrated author of Inward comes a new collection of poetry and short prose focused on understanding how past wounds impact our present relationships. In The Love Between Us, Yung Pueblo describes how intense emotions accumulate in our subconscious and condition us to act and react in certain ways. In his characteristically spare, poetic style, he guides readers through the excavation and release of the past that’s required for growth. Clarity and Connection by Yung Pueblo – eBook Details

Self help statements in the guise of poems. The content isn’t bad, but I’d have rather read the ideas in essay format, expanded upon & explained better. These poems just didn’t feel very poem-like to me. I enjoyed this free-verse poetry book, it gave me the words to purge my emotions , especially during these times of Covid, when we are isolated from loved ones and still forced to survive under the reigns of capitalism and a careless government.Find a partner who accepts you as you are but also inspires you to evolve because they take their own growth seriously. In Clarity and Connection, Yung Pueblo explores how intense emotions accumulate in our subconscious and condition us to act and react the ways we do. With his distinctive voice, at once spare and evocative, the author guides us through the excavation and release of the past that is required for growth. On the topic of intimate relationships, he reflects: Life is trauma and recovery. Not trauma as we often think of it, perhaps, but the trauma of “jealousy, anger, doubt, and low self-worth.” And the recovery “is not about managing your emotions; it is about managing your reactions to your emotions” because “our reactions tell us what our mind has internalized from our past experiences.” And since each and every one of us has different experiences, everything starts with self. I can’t truly have a healthy relationship at any level if I don't understand myself first. New York Times Bestselling collection of poetry and short prose focused on understanding how past wounds impact our present relationships.

true power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader. it is when you share your truth with compassion and peace. your power grows when you make progress in your own freedom and wisdom. those who are truly powerful do not harm themselves or others; instead, they use their energy to enrich all they know with love.” During the years when I had abandoned myself, my mind felt undeniably heavy. I knew I needed to find a clear way to help me feel lighter.” Buy now: I am certain that this work will help some people and some will find it very useful. But for me it's not good poetry and it's not self help I need at this moment. Really just seemed like mantras or good advice with line breaks: If you study Buddhism at all you will find a lot of familiar ground here although he only once, if my search worked correctly, mentions the word Buddha or Buddhism. That is very much to his credit, I think. Our language is not healing us at the moment, whatever language it is that you identify with. (And, yes, language does have both meaning and consequences.) His perspective alone would have made a valuable contribution. He didn’t really need to tie it all up in a bow and it is a bow that will sadly turn some readers off.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
