"Surround yourself with everyone" isn't really actionable advice. It'd be sort of like hanging out at the mall or the quad of a large univerity. Maybe instead spend some time with the niches and factions of life. To continue the university analogy: stop by the chess club, hang out with some rowers, say "hi" to the debate team, show up at the stoners' party.

You start filtering people based on some common preconceptions. Being part of several different groups with differing viewpoints, on the other hand, should make you value individuality more and be a more rounded/easier person to be around. Just my $0.02
