Yung Pueblo is the pen name of Diego Perez, and it translates to young people. He is a New York Times bestselling author whose writing sits at the intersection of personal growth and relationships, and How to Love Better arrived in 2025 as his most direct treatment of romantic partnership. His authority comes from experience rather than credentials. He has practiced Vipassana meditation for more than a decade, and that practice built the self awareness and compassion he needed to repair his own marriage. He is careful about how he positions himself. He does not claim to be a relationship expert. He describes himself as a long term student passing along what he has figured out to people who are struggling with the same things he struggled with. Beyond his books, Perez has built a large following online, with millions of readers across platforms. Time named him a Time100 Creator in 2025. He also cofounded Wisdom Ventures, an investment fund backing work in mental health, community building, and social justice.
