Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness "Have you ever had one of those days, or maybe even one of those weeks, where you feel like you're just... on autopilot? The alarm goes off, you grab your coffee, you go through the motions of work, you handle your responsibilities, and before you know it, the day is over. You're busy, you're productive, but are you... happy? We tend to think of happiness as this magical thing that just happens to us. Like a lightning strike or winning the lottery. We think, 'I'll be happy when I get the promotion,' or 'when I go on vacation,' or 'when the kids are grown.' We treat it like a destination we hope to arrive at someday. But what if that's all wrong? What if a good, happy, peaceful life isn't something you find, but something you build? I'm Dr. Robert Puff and welcome to “Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness”. This is the podcast for anyone who is ready to stop drifting and start steering. We're founded on one simple, but life-changing idea: you have to actively work for a life of joy and peace. In this episode, we're going to explore this idea by coming back to one central, powerful question. A question to ask yourself in the big moments and the small ones. That question is: 'Is what I am doing right now moving me in the direction of a happier life?' It's not about perfection; it's about direction. So, let's get into it. Let's learn how to work at it, together." New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist

Are you okay with that?" Minji whispered.Ko: 그녀는 그의 오랜 친구로서 항상 그에게 편안함을 주었다.En: As his long-time friend, she always brought him comfort.Ko: 수진은 대답했다. "네가 함께라면 괜찮아. 바람이 강해도 나름 매력 있을 거야."En: Sujin replied, "As long as you're with me, it's okay. Even strong winds have their own charm."Ko: 성산 일출봉은 웅장했다.En: Seongsan Ilchulbong was majestic.Ko: 푸른 초원이 펼쳐져 있었고, 저 멀리 바다가 끝없이 이어졌다.En: A blue meadow stretched out, and far away, the sea continued endlessly.Ko: 수진은 저 산으로 떠오르는 태양을 기다리며 가슴이 설렜다.En: As he eagerly awaited the sun rising from behind the mountains, Sujin felt his heart flutter.Ko: 하지만 구름이 많아 걱정이었다.En: However, he was worried because of the many clouds.Ko: "여기까지 왔는데, 해가 안 보이면 어쩌지?" 그는 불안함을 감추지 못했다.En: "What if we came all this way and can't see the sun?" he couldn't hide his anxiety.Ko: 민지는 부드럽게 미소 지으며 말했다. "완벽하지 않아도 돼. 순간을 즐기자. 이 자리가 우리의 기억 속에 남는 게 중요해."En: Minji softly smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be perfect. Let's enjoy the moment. What's important is that this place remains in our memories."Ko: 그녀의 말은 수진에게 큰 위로가 되었다.En: Her words were a great comfort to Sujin.Ko: 긴 기다림 끝에 하늘이 조금씩 밝아졌다.En: After a long wait, the sky slowly began to brighten.Ko: 구름 사이로 황금빛 햇살이 퍼져나갔고, 바다와 절벽을 황홀하게 비추었다.En: Golden sunlight spread through the clouds, magnificently illuminating the sea and cliffs.Ko: 수진은 숨을 멈춘 듯 그 장관을 바라보았다. "와, 정말 아름다워."En: Sujin looked at the spectacle as if he had stopped breathing. "Wow, it's truly beautiful."Ko: 그 순간, 수진은 깨달았다. 완벽을 추구하는 대신, 있는 그대로의 순간을 받아들이는 것이 진정한 행복이라는 것을.En: At that moment, Sujin realized that rather than striving for perfection, accepting the moment as it is, is true happiness.Ko: 그는 조용히 다짐했다. 작은 변화부터 시작해 더 나은 삶을 찾아가리라.En: He quietly resolved to start with small changes and seek a better life.Ko: 민지는 환하게 웃으며 말했다. "수진아, 넌 할 수 있어. 네가 어떤 길을 선택하든, 내 옆에 있을게."En: Minji beamed and said, "Sujin, you can do it. No matter what path you choose, I'll be by your side."Ko: 수진은 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Sujin nodded.Ko: 이제는 작은 변화가 그에게 더 많은 행복을 줄 것이라는 것을 알았다.En: He now knew that small changes would bring him more happiness.Ko: 알맞게 구름이 있는 것처럼, 삶도 완벽할 필요는 없었다.En: Just as the clouds fit in perfectly, life didn't need to be perfect.Ko: 그렇게 그는 민지와 함께, 봄날의 성산 일출봉을 내려갔다.En: With that realization, he and Minji descended the springtime Seongsan Ilchulbong.Ko: 변화는 이미 그의 마음속에서 시작되고 있었다.En: The change had already begun in his heart.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro 01:39 Q1: I've alerted my wife that she has distortions, but she still has them! 18:53 Irrational emotions vs distortions 29:48 Q2: Why would someone complain about their job but do nothing differently? 47:51 Q3: How can I get over the loss of my husband? 57:33 Final thoughts Q1: Dear Dr Lisle, pop psychology advises men to validate their wives emotions but how do I validate something that is objectively invalid. I have taken your advice and have tried explaining to her that she has distortions in her personality that cause her to screw her perspective in a way that creates irrational emotions but that only makes her more angry. How can you get someone to see that they are interpreting reality incorrectly? Q2: Why would a person constantly complain, get good advice and solutions, then do absolutely nothing? A person I know works a job they hate, that takes way too much time off them, and pays far to little. They complain bitterly and regularly to friends and family, get all hyped about changing things up, then proceed to do nothing but get back to complaining. I'd like to not give a damn but unfortunately I live with this person. Q3: How to get over loss of a loved one other than “time heals all wounds?” I'm 38 years old and I lost my husband 10 years ago. Since then I've isolated myself and pretty much knew for a fact that I would be single for life. I tried going on a few dates but I wasn't attracted to any of them because deep down I know that I am still in love with my husband, even though ten years have passed. I feel depressed because I often feel lonely, but it's not a loneliness that can be alleviated with friends or family, it's because I miss my husband. Is there anything I could do to move on?

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips 0:32 Q1 Nephew is suicidal, but he called to tell me 09:19 The psychology of suicide 30:08 Follow up question from E355 37:20 Q2 My husband is addicted to marijuana – can he change? 53:07 Q3: I'm one month sober – can it last? 1:14:19 Conclusion Q1: What do you do when a family member calls you and tells you that they are suicidal? Last night I received a phone call from my 35 year old nephew telling me he was suicidal. Growing up he was my favorite nephew but I haven't seen him for over 20 year because he lives on the other side of the country and I was estranged from his father, my brother, who dies ten years ago. That's when his life fell apart. Before that he was a very likeable, bright, college graduate, financially successful and an extremely fit and healthy young man. Now he is obese, severely depressed, has an alcohol and gambling addiction and on multiple psych meds, just waiting to “get his meds right”. He did read Anatomy of an Epidemic and did a 60 day stint in a rehab and tried AA but felt “he didn't need to be there”. He was such a great kid so I'm heartbroken that his life has spiraled so out of control that he wants to end it.

Can you really learn how to stop daily drinking after decades of alcohol use? Pierre's 35-year "drinking career" began at age 9 when adults first gave him alcohol in the Alps, a region where drinking is deeply woven into the cultural fabric. Despite recognizing his daily three-beer habit as problematic in his twenties, it took decades and multiple attempts before he successfully broke free. After discovering Annie Grace's approach, Pierre developed a long-term strategy to stop daily drinking and now celebrates a year of sobriety. In this episode, Pierre shares his journey from European drinking culture to peaceful sobriety, explaining how alcohol-induced depression lifted, why social pressure made quitting difficult, and how he finally created a life so beautiful he refuses to let alcohol steal even a day of it. In this episode, Annie and Pierre will discuss: First exposure to alcohol at age 9 in Europe's drinking culture The progression from social drinking to daily alcohol consumption Working in industries where drinking is normalized and accessible Multiple failed attempts at moderation and sobriety How to stop daily drinking with This Naked Mind How alcohol-induced depression and anxiety disappeared Developing a toolbox of coping strategies for life without alcohol The challenge of socializing sober in drinking-centric environments The power of curiosity in creating sustainable change Creating a life that doesn't require escaping through alcohol Finding self-love and self-understanding without alcohol The realization that "there is no love in that bottle" And other topics...
