These are the non-fiction prose books by Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez). Unlike his poetry collections, which use short verse, these books are written in longer-form prose and allow Pueblo to explore his ideas about healing and self-awareness in greater depth.
Lighter (2022) was his first prose book and became a New York Times bestseller. It draws heavily on his personal experience with Vipassana meditation to argue that individual healing has ripple effects on the people and communities around us. How to Love Better (2025) narrows the focus to romantic and interpersonal relationships, looking at how the self-knowledge gained through inner work can help people show up more honestly for the ones they love.
