| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Do you believe the following two |
| 0:09.9 | statements are true? One, almost everyone just wants to be happy. They want their |
| 0:17.2 | lives to go well and to look at each day as a new, fresh, beautiful day that they get to enjoy. |
