| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Rubber Puff. There are a lot of things that we do in life that take a great amount of our time, |
| 0:17.0 | but probably the biggest that we're going to spend the most time doing is working. We start young, often 12, 13, 14, with part-time jobs, mowing lawns, |
| 0:30.4 | babysitting, things like that. And then we go into the workforce where it's still |
| 0:35.2 | part-time jobs, but now we're working for someone on a regular basis. And then |
| 0:40.0 | here in the United States, when we finish high school, we have a choice to make, |

| 1:41.7 | So today we want to focus on how do we find happiness in the workplace? |
| 1:47.0 | Because I got a really good question from one of our listeners, Vicky, and she writes, |
| 1:52.3 | how do I not feel guilty if I choose my needs and quality of life instead |
| 1:56.7 | of being a workaholic like a lot of my coworkers who are trying to respond to every demand there matter how many hours they put in. I have a strong |
| 2:06.3 | work ethic and conscious and feel guilty not following the crazy train like the others. I think this is such a great question because it's one |
