| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We live in a noisy world sometimes. I love art museums and one of my favorite |
| 0:16.7 | museums in the world is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. |
| 0:20.9 | But when you go to it it's a beautiful museum and often it can be quite quiet, |
| 0:27.0 | quite calm. Because people are just mesmerized by the beauty and the truly opulence of the artistic expression in these art pieces. |
| 0:37.0 | But then sometimes for me, when I leave the Met, I'm overwhelmed by the busyness and the cacophony as I exit the front door of |
| 0:46.2 | the Met because the Metropolitan Museum is right on 5th Avenue, and there are a lot of cars |
| 0:51.7 | and it's a very busy place. |
| 0:54.0 | I think we all have places that are like this that are quiet, that are peaceful, that we spend some time at. |
| 1:00.0 | Perhaps we have a favorite park near our house that we love to go to. |
| 1:03.0 | Or we visit the local library and read a book and spend some time in the solitude of the library. |

| 1:14.0 | And when we leave our quiet places, sometimes it can be quite overwhelming. |
| 1:18.0 | The contrast can be quite shocking. |
| 1:21.0 | Another one of my favorite things to do is to go on retreat for a weekend or sometimes for a week or even longer by myself and just be still I actually won't talk for the entire weekend and it will be quiet and it will be peaceful and |
| 1:37.1 | then when I leave and re-enter the world sometimes it's quite overwhelming and shocking to my |
| 1:41.7 | system. But we're |
| 1:44.5 | adaptable and we get used to the noises. But sometimes we get so used to the |
| 1:49.2 | noises and the distractions and the activities all around us, that being quiet, being still makes us very uncomfortable. |
| 1:59.1 | Don't we all know someone that gets very uncomfortable when there's quiet, when there's peace, they have to be doing |
| 2:06.5 | something all the time, they have to be distracted. The second there's a moment break, |
| 2:10.6 | they pick up their phone and they're on it and they're doing something, or they're |
| 2:14.4 | listening to something, they never have a moment of stillness. |
