Born in 1979 in Sabadell, Pedro Cortés spent much of his working life in the construction industry. After twenty-six years in the sector and going through an existential crisis, he decided to turn his life around. A lover of reading and personal development, he trained at several coaching schools and went through various therapies.

He became a professional copywriter, learning from Javi Pastor and Isra Bravo. Today, he makes a living from rural tourism and combines construction with personal development to help new entrepreneurs bring their projects to life.

FROM BRICKLAYER TO BUDDHA is his first book, a fable in which he lucidly connects the different stages of building a house with the development of a human being seeking self-realization.
