HOW TO PICK YOUR FRIENDS
About this video
Prince Ea explains the concept of mirror neurons and argues they provide scientific justification for distancing oneself from negative people. He describes how mirror neurons cause people to unconsciously mimic others’ behaviors, from yawning to body language, and claims that exposure to negative traits in others activates corresponding brain patterns. Prince Ea concludes that people should protect themselves by surrounding themselves with those who model desired habits and limiting time with those who don’t.
