In this episode, John R. Miles dives deep into the science behind how your environment influences so much of your success not only in your career but also your health, relationships, and spirituality.
Our environment continually influences our lives, decision-making process, and how we interact with the world around us. In psychology, there is an idea known as ‘the social multiplier effect’ based on the principle that high levels of one attribute or behavior amongst one’s peers can have spillover effects on an individual. John dives deep into that concept and provides examples of how it changed the course of history.
And in case you didn’t already know it,ย John R. Milesย (@john_r_miles) takes your requests for topics on Momentum Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Momentum Friday episodes, drop us a line atย [email protected]. Now let’s dive in!
Human social behaviors are directly learned from a social environment and through social interaction rather than genetic causes and dynamics.
