| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:07.0 | Kindness is cool for so many reasons. |
| 0:12.0 | Kindness just makes our world a better place. |
| 0:16.7 | Kindness can be shown to people that are struggling, but it also can be a great way to respond to people that are angry. |
| 0:25.0 | That's a harder one, but it's also a beautiful act, |

| 1:37.0 | Obviously, the people that we are kind towards, they benefit from our kindness. |
| 1:43.0 | But the one thing that may surprise you |
