It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, everybody, how are we doing? Today we're talking about how to get past your past. how not to be owned by your personal history, and how doing so can have a massive impact on how you relate to other people.

And a reminder, the research strongly suggests that the quality of your relationships is perhaps the most important variable when it comes to your happiness. So getting past your past and then relating more successfully to other people puts you on an upward spiral. So we're going to talk about that today. We're going to talk about lots of other things as well. My guest is the great Diego Perez, who you may know by the name Young Pueblo.

He's an extremely popular author and social media presence. We had him on the show back in 2025 to talk about a book he had just released at the time called How to Love Better. And we're bringing that episode back today because it's really good. And you can find him on Instagram and also on Substack. In this episode, we talk a lot about relationship skills, including avoiding blame, keeping an open mind, having compassion without being a doormat.
