The Path to Deeper Connection Through Growth, Kindness, and Compassion

By: Yung Pueblo

Narrated by: Yung Pueblo

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The beloved author of Lighter offers a blueprint for deepening your compassion, kindness, and gratitude so you can truly grow in harmony with another person and build stronger connections in all your relationships.

“A beautiful offering from the heart, to the heart.”—Elizabeth Gilbert

“Yung Pueblo holds a mirror to the relationships we have and offers clear directions to the relationships we desire.”—Simon Sinek

“How to Love Better is destined to change your life.”—Lena Waithe

“Everyone enters relationships with imperfections and negative patterns that block the flow of love, but when you embrace growth, the new harmony within you will flow into your relationship.”

Love enters our lives in many forms: friends, family, intimate partners. But all of these relationships are deeply influenced by the love we have for ourselves. If we see our relationships as opportunities to be fully present in our healing and growth, then, Yung Pueblo assures us, we can transform and meet one another with compassion instead of judgment.

In How to Love Better, Yung Pueblo examines all aspects of relationships, from the rose-colored early days when you may be hesitant to show your full self, to the challenges that can arise without clear communication, to dealing with heartbreak and healing as you close a chapter of your life. The power of looking inward remains at the core of Yung Pueblo’s teachings. Ego and attachment can become barriers in a relationship, so the more self-aware you become, the more you can support both your partner and yourself.

How to Love Better includes:
• How to build harmony in a relationship
• How to see each other’s perspective
• How to find the right partner
• How to heal from heartbreak
• How to overcome attachment
• How to form commitments
• How to argue

Yung Pueblo’s insights on embracing change, building a foundation of honesty, and learning to listen selflessly will resonate regardless of where you are in your healing journey. And his unique combination of poetry, personal experience, and thoughtful advice will help you grow and strengthen all of your relationships.

“How to Love Better is destined to change your life. Yung Pueblo is determined to help us understand that true love starts within.

This book speaks to the courage of self-love as the foundation of all relationships.”—Tia Mowry, actor and author of the Whole New You

This is rich, informative, and a life changing mindset to consider in order to help us all be more self-aware of, honest with, and kind to ourselves and others.

Listen to it!

This book was difficult for me to get through because it is about romantic love. But I was determined to learn. I really appreciated the treat of the interview at the end with Sarah. Thank you for all you do!

Life changing book!!!

This book has changed just about every single relationship in my life…. This book helped me to become a better father, a better friend, a better son, to love myself…. This book has had the single biggest impact of any book I’ve ever read in my entire life.

It’s actually rare for me to leave a review, but this book is life-changing, you’ll think the universe if you read it!! thank you!!!!❤️💫

please allow choices of voice narration

It was so hard to get through such a good book because narrator's voice was so mundane and uninteresting 😭 Siri sounds more interesting than this guy. Penguin house should definitely offer choices for narrators.

I was hooked at the title.

I really enjoyed the ease of listening. The lesson was encased in wonderful story telling.

A Must Read

I truly enjoyed every word of this book. This was my first time listening to Diego on Audible as I usually purchase his paperback additions. I’m so happy I chose to listen as I felt a deeper connection with the author and his words. My favorite part of the audio version is the interview with his wife at the end. Grateful for this offering and will be sharing with everyone I know! ❤️

Deep thoughts about being in relationship.

While I couldn’t relate to every idea in this book but overall it was inspiring and helpful. I will recommend it to my children, friends, clients. It’s easy to listen to.

Great book

Love the reflection questions at the end and the practical advice. Highly recommend getting it

Amazing!!!!!!

I listened to this after a breakup and it was what I needed to hear. Inspired me to take another 10 day Vipassana course. Such a gift of wisdom and love. Thank you for sharing Diego & Sara!!
