| 0:00.0 | The Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Over the course of this series we've talked about many things that contribute to our happiness, |
| 0:27.0 | like not being attached, like keeping our life simple, like enjoying the present moment and accepting and even learning to love what |
| 0:37.1 | is. |
| 0:38.1 | But did you know there's actually things that keep us from being happy, things that cause us, states of unhappiness? |
| 0:45.6 | And that's what we're going to explore in today's episode. |
| 0:48.8 | What keeps us from being happy? |
| 0:51.6 | What causes us to feel suffering and anxiety in our life? |
| 0:56.5 | Probably one of the biggest challenges we have to being happy right now isn't that we don't |
