| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr Robert Puff. Why do we get upset? We can be |
| 0:10.1 | having a perfectly fine day and someone can cut us off on the road and it ruins our day. |
| 0:16.8 | Or sometimes we wake up in the morning, turn on the news or get on our phones, see what's |
