UCSB Arts & Lectures will host writer Yung Pueblo in Conversation with Pico Iyer, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29 at UCSB Campbell Hall.

Yung Pueblo (pen name Diego Perez) is an author and poet whose focus on self-knowledge and radical self-acceptance has made him a source of inspiration and wisdom.

Pueblo is the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of “Lighter” as well as the “Inward Trilogy,” a collection of three bestselling books of poetry including “Inward, Clarity & Connection” and the final installment, 2023’s “The Way Forward.”

Through social media platforms, Pueblo has become a powerful voice with his insights on self-healing, self-love, relationships, and the transformative power of self-discovery.

As a New York Times bestselling author, meditator and poet, he has inspired individuals seeking a path toward authentic living and emotional well-being.

Proclaiming that misery has gone out of style, and the healing generation is here, Pueblo champions the idea that embracing the transformative power of self-awareness and personal growth is the key to healing.

Moderator Pico Iyer is the author of 16 books, translated into 23 languages, and dealing with subjects ranging from the XIVth Dalai Lama to Islamic mysticism and from globalism to the Cuban Revolution.

They include “Video Night in Kathmandu,” “The Lady and the Monk,” “The Global Soul” and “The Art of Stillness.”

His latest, “The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise,” has been a national bestseller, and he’s just completing his next work, on his first 32 years with a community of Benedictine monks in Big Sur.
