This week your host Ben Decker & the The Modern Spirituality Show welcome Diego Perez, a New York Times Bestselling author, poet and philosopher.  Diego is a meditator, writer and speaker who is known by millions as Yung Pueblo, a pen name that means “young people.” Yung Pueblo serves to remind Diego of his Ecuadorian roots, his experience in activism, and that the collective of humanity is in the midst of important growth. Diego's favorite word is liberation which took on a deeper meaning once he started meditating vipassana (silent meditation) in 2012. His focus through meditating, writing and speaking is to support the healing of the individual, realizing that when we release our personal burdens, we contribute to a global peace.  Learn more about our guest here:Pre-Order Yung Pueblo's latest book, Lighter, coming out October 4, 2022.  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/667686/lighter-by-yung-pueblo/ Follow Yung Pueblo on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/yung_pueblo/Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/modernspiritualityshow/Ben Decker's Top App Recommendation:Open is a mindfulness app built to transform your life.
