Episode 2961:

Tyler Tervooren explains how the social proximity effect shapes our habits by mirroring the behaviors and values of those around us. By consciously choosing to surround ourselves with people who embody the traits we aspire to, we can naturally foster personal growth and positive change.

Quotes to ponder:

"Hang around four broke people and you’ll be the fifth."

"The psychological influence of the people you’re close to is strong."

"If proximity effect dictates that we’ll mirror the people around us, then we have to carefully monitor who those people are."
