0:00.0	You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.
0:16.0	Today's cool fact of the day is that research now shows you that happiness is controlled
0:21.1	by a body system and we have some new power to control some more of it.
0:27.0	Most of the research around changing your happiness levels points to a concept called
0:30.6	hedonic adaptation.
0:33.0	Means when something good or bad happens to you over time you get used to it.

1:33.7	It's probably much higher than that much like the people 20 years ago said cancer is genetic.
