Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. When we think about happy people and what they're like, we probably don't think they're

judgmental, that they're harsh, but they scream at people, that they get really mad when people

do things against them.

That probably makes sense to us.

And if we're listening to this podcast,

we probably want to be happy and find peace in our lives.

And we probably realize that being cruel to other people isn't the way

to get there.

And if we do get angry at the clerk that's just taking too long to ring up our order or

we get angry at our spouse for something they did, we probably

afterwards don't feel very good about ourselves and it isn't the path to happiness.

This probably all makes sense.

But in today's podcast, I want to talk about a more advanced happiness skill,

something that will really help us in our paths to finding peace and happiness in our lives throughout the day.

And if we find that we've been working on happiness for many years, how to improve our lives

and still don't find that happiness in our daily lives, this may be the reason that we can't quite get there.

So today is an advanced skill, but a very important skill on our path to peace and happiness.

And though it won't be a difficult concept to understand, what will be difficult is implementing

it, it probably is the hardest thing we're ever going to do.

But in my own life, what I found is by developing this

skill and I've gotten quite good at it. It really makes my life go so much better and I just

have a smile on my face throughout the day because of this skill.
