Welcome to the Happiness Podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Over the past few years we've been

working together and figuring out how to have happy lives. There's many parts to it, though in many ways

it's quite simple. In this episode we're going to look at what are the two key

factors that when applied, though perhaps a little bit more advanced, really work towards

helping us to have great, beautiful, peaceful lives. Sometimes when we work on things individually,

they really are helpful, but when we combine them, they're great.

It'd be like having a nice meal, but then getting a great dessert with it,

or staying a nice hotel, but then getting a massage with it, or winning a free trip to Europe

and then getting bumped up when you get to the airport, the business class.

There's a lot of ways when we combine things together that they're better.

And in regards to our happiness, this also is true.

So what are these two parts to living our lives when combined together make our lives flow beautifully.

They are one, eaglelessness and two effortlessness.

That's eaglelessness and effortlessness. That's egolessness and effortlessness. Let's start with the first one. What the

heck do I mean by egolessness? It's basically that commentary we get all day long about others, but mostly about ourselves,

critiquing how things are going, are they going well?

Are they going great? Are they going terrible? Do people like us?

Do they not like us? What is this going to look like?

It's truly all about me and not about living.

It's about what this person I call the ego thinks and it's trying to grasp on the things

and control things and when it can't, which is pretty often, then the ego kicks in and said,

well how's this going to look?
