Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I once gave an assignment to one of my clients who was having a hard time with life.

0:12.0

I encourage her to go outdoors and spend some time in nature.

0:15.6

And I thought that would be really helpful for her just to calm down and find some peace and beauty in her life.
