Be Here As You Are

Part autobiographical, part philosophical introspection, this book reveals how the simple act of being present can transform you. It offers a refreshing perspective about our inherited thought processes in making life choices, challenging us to rethink our values and priorities. It calls upon each reader to venture both inward and beyond, inviting them to step into a more vulnerable and conscious way of being in our defensive, ego-driven, algorithmic world. From rigid childhood expectations to the loss of both parents, to exploring ethical non-monogamy, to losing a mother while simultaneously becoming one, to her steadfast commitment to flow, Vun curiously and studiously reflects on the cyclical process of becoming more human, imploring us to constantly reinvent ourselves into our most authentic, present versions.
