Description
In Love with Life, Even When It Hurts
Book Summary
In this intimate and vital work, singer-songwriter Migueli shares in the first person a life dedicated to the service of those who suffer and inhabit the invisible borders of everyday experience. More than a book, it is a vital score where music, dedication, and humor intertwine to offer an honest and hopeful look at the pain and beauty of existing. Through personal stories and encounters with others, the author invites the reader on an emotional journey that strips bare souls and reveals the transformative power of care and attention to one's neighbor.

The work moves through moments of joy and difficulty, but is always imbued with energy, humor, and deep humanity. Each chapter becomes a chord in a vital symphony that invites reflection on what truly matters: the capacity to see and be present in the face of others' suffering, without losing the love for life.
