When we hear the word 'infinity,' we usually picture a boundless stretch of time, constantly moving forward into a future we can never quite reach. Because we are always looking ahead, we miss the absolute miracle of what is happening right in front of us. In this episode, we are going to explore how true peace isn't found by living longer or doing more, but by dropping vertically into the present moment and discovering the infinite depth of right now.

We often believe that booking a flight to a beautiful destination will automatically bring us peace, expecting a change of scenery to magically cure our stress. But the profound truth is: wherever you go, there you are.

In our modern, hyper-productive world, we want everything instantly. But the greatest joys, the deepest relationships, and the most profound inner peace cannot be microwaved or rushed.

When we feel anxious or overwhelmed, we usually try to think our way out of it. We analyze our problems, we ruminate, and we try to logic our way to peace. But modern neuroscience has discovered a much more beautiful solution: you can't always think your way out of an anxious mind—sometimes, you have to look your way out of it. In this episode, we are exploring the incredible science of awe, and how experiencing wonder acts as a biological reset button that shrinks the ego and brings us true peace.

We all enter adulthood carrying a set of invisible scripts handed down to us by our families and our early environments. But what happens when you realize that the way you handle stress, relationships, or anger wasn't actually chosen by you, but was simply absorbed when you were young? In this episode, we are going to explore the profound practice of self-inquiry—learning how to bravely examine our childhood conditioning so we can consciously keep the beautiful habits we were taught, and permanently break the cycles we are destined to repeat if we stay on autopilot.

If you were to ask one of the most formidable, erudite intellectuals of the 20th century for the secret to happiness, you might expect a complex, highly philosophical answer. Yet, when the brilliant writer William F. Buckley Jr. was asked this very question, his response was simply: 'Don't grow up.' In this episode, we are going to explore why holding onto our childlike wonder is not immature, but rather the ultimate pinnacle of intellectual, artistic, and spiritual maturity."

Have you ever had one of those days where it feels like the whole world woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and everyone you interact with is just a little bit rude? This past weekend, I had an experience at a restaurant where I was surrounded by unkindness, until one stranger stepped in and completely changed the trajectory of my day.

Imagine a visitor coming to you in the middle of the night and telling you that the life you are living right now—every joy, every pain, every mundane Tuesday—will be repeated over and over again for all of eternity. Would that thought make you fall to the floor in despair, or would you view it as the ultimate divine gift? In this episode, we are going to explore the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's greatest thought experiment, and discover how using 'The Eternity Test' can profoundly transform the way we live, love, and experience this exact moment. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

We live in a world obsessed with physical fitness.

New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Recently, the legendary entertainer Dick Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday, and when asked for his secret to a long life, he didn't credit a strict diet or an intense workout routine. He attributed his century of life to maintaining a positive outlook and making a conscious choice not to get angry. In this episode, we are going to explore the actual science behind his claim, and learn how mastering our emotional reactions might just be the greatest anti-aging medicine in the world.

We spend our adult lives either exhausted from overworking or checking out through mindless distractions, convinced that the Universe is keeping a strict scorecard of our accomplishments.

The French philosopher Blaise Pascal once famously said, 'All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.'

We spend our lives climbing mountains—chasing the perfect relationship, the higher salary, or the dream home—convinced that the view from the top will finally make us feel complete.

We often think of our emotions like a light switch—that we can be a rage monster on the freeway or rude to a chatbot, and then instantly flip the switch to 'Saint' when we walk through the front door to see our family. But neuroscience tells us a different story. Every time we practice impatience—even when we think it's harmless—we are literally wiring our brains to be unkind. Today, we're discussing the ripple effects of our private words, and how the 'neural grooves' we carve in secret eventually bleed over into the lives of the people we love most. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Change is the only constant, yet our first reaction to it is often fear. Whether it is a shift in the economy, a change in our health, or the rise of new technology like AI, the "unknown" triggers our defenses. In this episode, we explore the choice between Fear and Acceptance. We look at historical figures like Dorothy Vaughan (who embraced the first computers) and the Impressionist painters (who embraced the camera) to see how successful people don't fight the future—they evolve with it. Learn how to treat the changes in our world not as threats, but as a "gym" where we practice expanding our hearts, quieting our egos, and moving from anxiety to curiosity. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

In an attempt to cope with a harsh and overwhelming world, many of us unconsciously desensitize ourselves to block out pain. But here is the catch: our emotions do not have selective volume knobs; when we numb the darkness, we also numb the light. In this episode, we explore this numbness paradox—why avoiding pain kills your joy—and how to safely open your heart to feel fully alive again. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Imagine walking into a pitch-black room; you cannot see anything until you bring a light with you.

In this episode, we will explore how nurturing your inner beauty acts as a lamp, allowing you to find grace and wonder even in the darkest of times. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

When we face difficulty, our natural instinct is often to ask the disempowering question, 'Why is this happening to me?'

In this episode, we will explore how to make this powerful mental pivot so you can stop suffering through your challenges and start learning from them.

It is time to stop taking the bait and reclaim your internal peace. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Her mission bridges science, policy, and community action to build more compassionate and effective systems for those experiencing grief.In the episode, Joyal explains how personal tragedy revealed the deep health, social, and economic effects of bereavement—and how current systems consistently fall short.

She shares how Evermore pushes for stronger national policies, better community responses, and evidence-based tools that help people “weather” loss rather than face it alone. Her insights highlight the urgent need for more humane, prepared, and responsive structures for grieving individuals.Connect with Joyal Mulheron:Evermore WebsiteEvermore InstagramLinkedInInstagramLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramTwitter Hosted on Acast.
