I first discovered The Meditation for Health Podcast in 2014. Immediately struck by the quality of the recordings, I was attracted to the energy of openness, and impressed by the relative lack of commercialization, compared to other meditation resources. It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation. read more

Dr. Puff's Happiness Podcast is part of my "daily diet." Listen regularly for compounding effects on your peace and happiness in life. I've seen Dr. Puff in his office over the years and he is the "real deal." He practices what he preaches and he preaches what he practices. He's a very loving, kind listener in person. But the podcast is great because you get his wise words straight. There is a podcast episode for almost any occasion. If you are burned out at work, or going through a break up, or anxious, or depressed, or hate Mondays, he'll give you *tough but effective* instructions for how to stop sabotaging yourself and start living well. A lot of the lessons revolve around: Detachment (accepting that things are not going to go the way you wish they would), gratitude, living in the now, slowing down, watching your thoughts, and not always reacting quickly to what live brings. Easier said then done, but this podcast will help you slowly move in the direction of new habits -- keep coming back, it works (if you work it)! read more

After going through a difficult struggle I realized that I was the problem. So I decited that I needed help so I can create better experiences for myself. What a better way than to get therapy! After doing research I came across Dr. Robert Puffs happiness podcast.

I'm so glad i did! It has really opened up my mind to so many different things. My favorite was not being attached to things because thats what creates suffering. I love listening to him so much.

Marriage counselor newport beach is how I think we found Dr Puff. We wanted to learn more about how we can take our relationship to another level. Our marriage isnt bad but we knew we wanted to grow closer in all aspects of love. So we seeked out the best counselor we could find online which Dr Puff seemed like the right answer. He is such a gentle guy and very easy to speak to. He doesn't make you feel judged like other psychologists tend to do. He has given us so many relationship building tools and helped us better understand one another. Definitely the right counselor if you are having any type of relationship issue or what to grow further, like we have. read more

If this is the positive impact he has with a group setting, I can only imagine the change he would bring with one on one sessions.

I started listening to the Happiness Podcast during a very difficult time in my life, after having been hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and resigning at my first job after college graduation.

I highly recommend the Happiness Podcast to anyone interested in mindfulness and in learning how to live a simple, happy life. read more

I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Puff to anyone that is interested in improving his/her way of life! He offers a myriad of ways to do this and through several types of media.

His genuine kindness and care for others is evident throughout his work and I have yet to find anyone out there who is more committed to sharing their peace and joy than Dr. Puff! At the last workshop that I attended, he was very willing to answer my questions and believe me, I had a lot of them!! He seemed very patient with the group as a whole and there was never a sense of trying to keep to a schedule. It just goes to show that he really lives what he writes and speaks. read more

We stumbled across Dr. Puff's Happiness podcast listening in our car several months ago. Since then we listen to one of his old episodes almost every morning while we wake up and get ready for the day. They are very wise and useful messages with lots of great short stories and suggestions for living a happy and peaceful life. I highly recommend listening to his Happiness podcast, as he relays so many helpful life stories that can be applicable to anyone living a more fulfilling, peaceful and happy life, no matter the circumstances. Any and all circumstances. His teachings seem to be connected to Buddhist philosophies, and he is able to relate that very well to our modern culture. We love his podcast and we love him! The podcasts are short, so most people could find time to add this to their day, and the value would be very high and could possibly change their life for the better. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Puff in his private practice in Brea, Ca since 2003. He has helped me through many life changing challenges throughout the years in every aspect of my life.

I honestly do not know where I would be without Dr. Puff's guidance. He is so gentle yet honest with his advice. His guidance is always very simple and easy to follow.

I have experienced lots of trauma in my life and have worked hard to process, overcome and move forward finding happiness from each juncture, mostly successfully. I find myself at another crossroads inviting me to find someone to coach me through more work. The Happiness Podcasts Dr. Poff has provided have been invaluable on the face of it.. they only take a few minutes each and can shift your world. The most illuminating thing I have found from listening is this question.. to overcome trauma, resolve the past to facilitate moving forward and having a happy life.. is is requisite to revisit, wrestle with and experience the pain of the trauma in order to resolve it? Or much too simply put, can Dr. Poff's approach help us to navigate forward in such a powerful way that the past becomes the past because we can experience joy and happiness, a beautiful life, establishing trust that the past cannot hurt us anymore. If so, isn't this a much better way forward and better use of the precious time we have on this earth? THANK YOU Dr. Puff for all your work and the gift of your podcasts. I will be reaching out to see you as soon as I listen to all of the podcasts. read more

I have been so negative lately and it has been hard for me just to stop and enjoy things and be happy in the moment.

I have learned to adapt and just be so much more free and loving. One cliché to describe Dr. Puff: Good Vibes. read more

Dr. Puff constantly looks at his watch every 5 mins like I'm wasting his precious time; gave no useful info, and all appointments were cut short by 10 mins. Instead of the usual 45 mins they were all 35 mins and I was still charged $350 each time as I was rushed out early each and every time like he had something better to do. As someone with massive depression and anxiety this just gave me no hope to come across someone hired to listen to people for less than 45 mins for a large sum of money and still didnt want to. I felt like he didn't care about anything I was saying and it's probably true; this is why he only takes cash and checks and no insurance. I felt empty after seeing him. read more
