Summary
The Happiness Formula (How do I make this work?)
A formula for happiness is based on some simple yet challenging principles. First, we exhaust every option to improve our current situation. Second, once we have exhausted our options and nothing has changed, we ask a critical question: "How can I make this work?" Happiness is always an option as long as we can accept the current situation and make that work.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Recently a friend and a colleague of mine had to have foot surgery and he was in a cast for about six months. |
| 0:14.0 | It took a long time for it to heal. |
| 0:16.0 | Well, when the cast finally came off, |
| 0:18.0 | it didn't keep healing, it got worse. |
| 0:21.0 | And though the doctors did everything they could to heal his foot and ended |
| 0:26.6 | up getting worse and he had to have a significant portion of his leg amputated because if he hadn't he would have died. I know this man pretty well and he loved the outdoors. |

| 1:18.0 | You may be wondering, well, does he really mean it? Will he just learn how to walk around with the artificial leg and not get upset and angry and all that goes with that? |
| 1:29.0 | I mean, I'm sure there'll be times where he'll be frustrated, but I know this man quite well and he is resilient he knows |
