Yung Pueblo: Not Enlightened, But Lighter

In this episode of Life As It Is, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief James Shaheen and cohost Sharon Salzberg sit down with poet Diego Perez (also known by his pen name Yung Pueblo) to talk about the connection between personal and global transformation, the difference between self-love and narcissism, and what gives him hope about our present moment. He also discusses his new book, Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand the Future.
