| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We all want to live a happy life and we |
| 0:09.7 | try different things to accomplish that goal. But the truth is, so many things that we try work |
| 0:16.8 | temporarily, but in the long run, they don't seem to really work. And we just struggle struggle throughout life trying to figure out how do we make |
| 0:25.5 | this life of ours work well. Sometimes we do come up with answers that seem to work but then |
| 0:31.6 | something comes along and messes it up and then we're struggling again. |
| 0:37.2 | We may think, well, if I go to college and get a good degree, I can get a job and all will be well. Well we finish college, we get our job, and |
| 0:47.0 | then we realize a lot of our money goes to expenses and just getting by. Or perhaps we want to find the love of our life and we think when we do that |

| 1:37.0 | Or some of my friends or my loved ones are passing because they're older too, |
| 1:42.0 | and they're not with me anymore. |

| 1:47.5 | I want to give us a tool today that can help us, I believe, have a pretty good happy life. |
| 1:53.6 | It's a very easy tool. |
| 1:55.6 | It's just not easy to do. |
| 1:57.3 | But if we understand it today and then begin to implement it tomorrow. |
| 2:02.7 | I do think our lives will go a lot better |
