| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. This is not going to surprise you, but we all have something in common. We all mess up. We all make |
| 0:18.8 | mistakes. We all do things that we wish we hadn't. We all do. But that's not going to surprise you. But what |
| 0:27.6 | may surprise you is why we mess up. There's a tendency for the majority of us to think that when someone messes up, including |
| 0:36.2 | ourselves, that we're just bad. |
| 0:38.9 | There's something wrong with us. |
| 0:40.8 | And we should do better. |
| 0:42.0 | And when we don't, it's completely our fault. |

| 1:18.0 | and throughout our lives. |
| 1:19.0 | When we make decisions, when we take steps and actions at our lives. It's a culmination of tens of thousands |
| 1:26.9 | of previous conditions that got us there, that shaped us, that encourages us or pushes us towards a certain behavioral direction. |
| 1:36.3 | So because of these previous conditions, we're going to do other things, things that we may not |
| 1:41.1 | want to, but we've been conditioned to. |
| 1:43.0 | Things that we think I shouldn't do that but the conditioning is so strong |
| 1:48.0 | that we do it anyways. |
