| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We probably don't remember doing |
| 0:09.5 | this but all of us have seen this. It's where a young child, a very young child, |
| 0:15.0 | is freely flowing with life. |
| 0:19.0 | They may be listening to music and dancing. |
| 0:21.0 | They may be twirling around in circles just because it's enjoyable |
| 0:26.2 | for them. They may be laughing hysterically, again, not because it matters, just because that's |

| 1:07.2 | would shame them. |
| 1:08.6 | What's wrong with you? |
| 1:09.8 | Why are you acting that way? And yet at the same time there are adults people that we probably |
| 1:16.6 | know that really don't seem to care much about what people think about them. They live their |
| 1:22.0 | lives freely flowing with what works for them, not based |
| 1:26.6 | upon what other people will think of them or how they'll get approval or disapproval based |
| 1:31.4 | upon their behavior. |
