In this week's episode, we're back to talking about the tenets and principles of Clean Thinking and we're doing so via our fourth discussion of a specific influence: our friends & family. This is our first discussion of an external influence and if you're planning on listening along with a friend or family member, you might want to wait until you're alone! Host Mike Marcella opens with another verbal thrashing of the bland and uninspiring genre of adult contemporary music and goes on to detail all of the ways that our friends and family can act as subjective influences in our lives, both for better or worse, and purposely or accidentally. He then goes on to describe how we might go about managing the potential detriments of those influences, while focusing on and nurturing those relationships that are valuable to us.
