Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. My guess is most of us listening to this podcast today haven't robbed

the bank before. Some of us may have, but probably most of us haven't. But the question is why? I mean, most of us

tend to like money, we like what it brings, and we like to think that we can get

about $50,000 a day. Now mind you, you have to be quite good at what you do. You probably better

the person that I'm referring to that makes that much is very good at what he does, and he can
