Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand The Future

Product Information

It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of a new romance, but it takes a certain level of maturity to recognize that looks aren’t everything. It takes dedication to look beyond physical appearance. As you grow, you may find yourself letting go of old ideas or goals. You may even shed old identities. These are simply side effects of clarifying who you really are through the process of freeing yourself from the past and moving intentionally through the present. Strive for progress.

It is about reaching the point where we recognise what has caused us to react in the above negative ways, but no longer allowing it to command or govern us - instead using the information from the past to aid us in making better decisions moving forward. Your immediate reaction does not tell you who you are. It is how you decide to respond after the reaction that gives you real insight into how much you have grown. Your first reaction is your past. Your intentional response is your present.” Lighter is a book that offers a radical and compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world. The author, Diego Perez, also known as yung pueblo, is a popular writer and speaker who shares his insights on self-healing, meditation, and social change. He draws from his own personal experience of overcoming drug addiction, anxiety, and depression, as well as his studies of Buddhism, psychology, and sociology.The book is written in a simple and poetic style, with short sentences and paragraphs that convey profound messages. Perez uses metaphors, analogies, and stories to illustrate his points and to inspire the reader. He also quotes from various sources, such as spiritual teachers, philosophers, poets, and scientists, to support his arguments and to show the universality of his message.
