Aug 21, 2026 · 9m
Summary
Dr. Robert Puff explains that our internal emotional state acts as a lens, shaping how we perceive the world. He argues that judging others clouds this lens, while intentionally pivoting to find beauty in people cleanses it. By practicing this shift, we cultivate inner peace and happiness rather than seeking external validation.
