Summary
Secret to a Happy Life
What is the secret to a happy life? Happiness is an exclusive club that few can join. Instead, we can all be happy if we do two things. First, we need to fully engage in the here and now. Second, we need to call life play, not work. Happiness will be ours if we do these two things throughout the day.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Do you ever wonder what really is the |
| 0:10.0 | secret of a happy life? And if you knew what that was, you could really just focus on doing |
| 0:15.7 | that? Wouldn't that be wonderful? Because if you think about successful people in general, the one thing they all pretty much have in common is that they |
| 0:25.6 | really get good at something. Well what if we got good at being happy? And I think knowing |
| 0:32.4 | what to really focus on throughout the day can be helpful. |
| 0:36.7 | When we start feeling depressed, anxious, worried, and just not happy, what can we do instead? |

| 1:36.0 | And though the concepts are quite easy to understand, |
| 1:40.0 | actually doing them is where we get in trouble. |
| 1:44.0 | So first, how do we fully engage in the here and now? |
| 1:48.0 | We don't engage in the here and now when we're thinking about the future, when we're perseverating on the past, |
| 1:56.1 | that's what gets us in so much trouble because we're in the past or if we're in the future, |
| 2:00.9 | we're not here right now, and most of the time we're in the past or in the future. |
| 2:06.7 | In the sporting world because people are competing they want to win |
