| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. If you're new to this |
| 0:16.3 | podcast or you've been listening for a while, today's episode is a pretty |
| 0:21.8 | important one. |
| 0:24.0 | It's important for two reasons. |
| 0:26.2 | One is because it really focuses on the key elements of how to make our lives better, |
