Today, I want to continue along the same theme as episode 1 and talk about the other side of the input coin. The first side was about the information inputs with which we feed our minds. But today, I want to look at the other major influence on our ability to change from being pessimistic people into hopeful and optimistic people. Specifically, we need to talk about the people who are closest to us, who have the most influence over our lives. We talk about how our brains sync up with the people around us, how we are broadcasting our subconscious thoughts and feelings to those in close proximity, whether we're a good influence for others in our lives, and what to do when that negative person is someone you can't get rid of!
