Summary
The cause of unhappiness in life seems numerous and varied. But what causes us to suffer is the false belief systems that tell us things "should" be different. Our beliefs are shaped by our past and present brainwashing. When we understand that our thoughts cause our suffering, we can identify these beliefs and change them or let them go.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:07.0 | Pause for a moment and think about a time in your past that was really difficult. That at the time of it you struggled, you |
| 0:16.0 | suffered and it was just awful. And now think about that time again. I bet you don't |
| 0:22.2 | feel the same way about it. We've all gone through |
| 0:25.1 | experiences like this. Think about our first love if we've been in love. That person |
| 0:30.4 | when we broke up may have broken our heart and perhaps it was so bad we wanted to end |
| 0:36.2 | our life. |
| 0:38.0 | And now we can think about them with no feelings at all. |

| 1:20.0 | And guess what? |
| 1:21.0 | She ended up getting into a doctoral program. But you know what happened? |
| 1:24.6 | She had a severe psychological breakdown during her doctoral program. Because all that pressure, |
| 1:29.7 | all that belief system that she had to be perfect just collapsed on her. The other woman |
| 1:34.9 | wasn't able to finish college and she went out and got a job that she really |
