Choose Your Friends With Caution

About this video

Prince Ea argues that the people you surround yourself with have a profound impact on your well-being and success, citing a Harvard study he claims found relationships affect physical health more than diet, exercise, or genetics. He urges viewers to evaluate whether their friendships elevate or drain them, comparing the contagious nature of attitudes to catching the flu. Prince Ea suggests that true best friends bring out the best in you, and uses the metaphor of eagles versus pigeons to encourage distancing oneself from negative influences in order to reach one’s potential.
