0:00.0	Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We make a lot of choices throughout our life, even just throughout a normal day.
0:16.0	What am I going to have for breakfast? What will I wear today?
0:20.0	How much will I study for my exam? I need to ask for a promotion. Will I ask for it today?
