Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. There's a lot of good and a lot of vague

0:12.9

definitions of what happiness really is. One of the best soul I think I've ever found is this.

0:20.6

Happiness is harmony between the interworld and the outer world.

0:26.7

Or perhaps another way to put this would be,

0:29.5

there's happiness in our hearts when our inner world of thoughts,

0:34.4

feelings, expectation, desires, attachments, harmonize with the external world that we live in.

0:42.4

You may be thinking, that's crazy, Dr. Puff. The world is rancid. It's disgusting. It's full of

1:35.7

traveling the world, having a blast and we're going to our dead end job, which isn't fulfilling.

1:43.2

It barely covers our bills and there's nothing left.

1:47.3

And we won't be posting anything exciting on social media for a long time to come.

1:53.3

Truly, I could go on and on with reasons we're unhappy.
