| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Hurricanes, I don't know if you've ever been in one, |
| 0:16.0 | but they are one powerful force of nature. |
| 0:20.0 | I've never been in one myself, but I've seen things like them. I was once on vacation in |
| 0:27.0 | Goa, India during the monsoon season and I was staying near the beach. |
| 0:33.0 | Well, the monsoon season is where India gets very heavy rains during the summer. |
| 0:38.0 | While I was there, the force of the wind and the rain were so strong that the tops of the palm trees were bent and actually touching the ground. |

| 1:32.4 | in a hurricane or a tornado and life is just blowing us all over the |
| 1:37.8 | place. It can truly be horrific. Maybe right now as we're listening to this podcast, we're going through a divorce, or we've lost our |
| 1:47.4 | job with no prospects of a new one, or we're facing an incredible health crisis which we may not possibly even recover from, |
| 1:57.0 | or perhaps more like a hurricane, not only us, but many people around us are stuck in this very strong wind of emotion and |
| 2:08.1 | is overwhelming so many of us. |
| 2:11.3 | We know times like this have happened throughout history, war, famine, pestilence, |
| 2:18.6 | pandemics. Things happen that can really be frightening and overwhelming. |
