A good friend is like a tonic: a medicinal concoction that is brewed to make us feel healthier, livelier, and re-energized. A “tonic friendship” therefore, is like a healthy blend of mutual respect, positive attachment, affection, loyalty, love, respect, and trust.

Conversely, toxic friends don’t nourish our souls but suck the verve out of our spirits. Is it not time for us to reconsider our stance in relationships that add no real value to our lives other than frustration and distractions?

The point is, many are successful in life today because they flowed with the right group of friends, while some are not getting ahead due to the toxic friends they are drifting with. Most importantly, the message of this audio lecture is that we should take into account not just what kind of friends we make, but also what kind of friends we are. So, listen, learn, laugh, and edit your Youniverse!
