Happiness Happens: Happiness For Those Who Have Everything Else
Not yet published
Expected 19 May 26Robin Singh had everything he wanted and more—well-settled in the US, financial freedom, married to the love of his life—except he was not happy. It was in his pursuit of happiness that he stumbled across purpose. It eventually took giving up on happiness and pursuing purpose before he realised that he had finally found what he had been looking for.
This is a book about what happened between him exiting his tech company and starting Peepal Farm—an animal rescue centre. It is a compilation of all the answers he got along the way and the questions he asked to get those answers. He still can't tell you what is life or why is life . . . but he can answer why to live and how to live.
Happiness Happens is ultimately an exploration of what really makes us happy. It is Robin’s journey told simply, with the hope that it will reach people who are dissatisfied with how they have been living but haven't yet been able to answer how else to live.

There’s a certain calm that comes from reading a book that isn’t trying too hard to teach you anything, and yet, somehow, you walk away learning a lot. " Happiness Happens " by Robin Singh feels exactly like that kind of read. It doesn’t hand you a roadmap to happiness; instead, it sits beside you quietly, asking if maybe you’ve been running too fast to notice the peace already around you.
Singh writes with an honesty that feels almost disarming. He takes you through his journey of leaving behind a life most people would call “successful” — comfortable job, stability, admiration — to build something simpler, slower, and infinitely more fulfilling. It’s not framed as rebellion or escape, but as a tender return to what truly matters.
What struck me most is how the book makes space for stillness. It’s not motivational in the loud, performative way we’re used to. It’s reflective, humble, almost meditative. It makes you pause mid-paragraph, not to underline a quote, but to look out the window and breathe a little slower.
By the end, I didn’t feel “inspired” in the usual sense. I felt grounded. Content. Like I’d been gently reminded that happiness doesn’t always bloom in big moments, but in the quiet rhythm of doing something kind, something real.

Some books make noise. Some books make sense and then, once in a while, comes a book like "Happiness Happens" that doesn’t demand your attention but earns it through its silence.
Robin Singh’s story is one of unlearning. From being a successful tech entrepreneur in the US, living what many would call “the dream”, to walk away from it all to build Peepal Farm, an animal rescue and awareness centre in a small Himachali village, he didn’t just change his career; he changed his consciousness.
This book is not a self-help manual. It’s not about quick fixes or glossy motivational talk. It’s a soul diary, a brutally honest conversation between a man and his own emptiness, and how he slowly learned to fill that void, not with success, but with meaning.
At its core, this book questions the very foundation of modern living.
Robin asks, What is happiness? Why do we chase it? And what happens when we finally stop running? Through fragments of his own life, childhood wounds, material success, burnout, and rebirth through compassion, he peels back the layers of human conditioning. The theme that stands out is the transformation from pursuit to presence.
"He shows how happiness is not the outcome of success, but the side effect of alignment."
He exposes how purpose is not found in grand missions but in small, consistent acts of goodness and he reminds us that peace isn’t something we earn, it’s something we allow.
🕊️ What Stayed with Me :
🔸What I loved most about this book was its rawness. There’s no attempt to romanticize struggle or package spirituality into bite-sized inspiration. Robin’s honesty is disarming.
🔸One moment that stayed with me was his realization that “animals are people too.”
It’s not just a metaphor, it’s a worldview. It’s his way of saying that empathy is not selective; it’s a way of being.
🔸Another part that hit hard was when he talks about “reducing the suffering footprint.” It’s such a quietly revolutionary idea to measure the worth of our lives not by what we accumulate, but by how much suffering we reduce in others’ lives.
💡 What We Can Learn :
✨ The author's book teaches us that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away from the life that everyone else wants for you.
✨ He shows us that there’s immense dignity in simplicity, in living close to nature, and in caring for beings who can’t thank you back.
✨ Reading this book made me pause. Made me rethink my own definitions of “doing well.”
It made me realize that happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a direction, and sometimes, that direction points inward.
💭 My Thoughts - From the Blurb to the Last Page :
🍃 When I first read the blurb and saw the cover, serene, earthy, unpretentious, I expected a quiet book. But what I found was a storm disguised as silence. The author doesn’t decorate his thoughts with borrowed wisdom. He earns them.
🍃 As I turned the final pages, I realized this book isn’t about finding happiness, it’s about finding yourself in the absence of everything else.
✒️ Final Thoughts : A Mirror, Not a Manual
This book is more than a book. It’s a mirror you hold up to your own life.
It doesn’t promise joy; it offers truth and sometimes, that’s the beginning of all joy.
If you’ve been asking quietly, What am I doing? Why am I doing it? This book won’t give you answers, but it will make your questions deeper, more honest.
This isn’t a story of achievement; it’s a story of awakening and when you finish it, you don’t just understand it better, you understand yourself a little better too.
👏 The most profound lesson :
"Happiness is not something you chase, it’s something that happens when you live honestly."

There's something appealing about a book that's not trying to impress you. Happiness Happens is that book, the author says this might be his first and last book. And it's not loud or poetic, it's quiet, messy, and very human, offering you 3 reasons why you should read it at the beginning! And perhaps this is what makes it linger.
Robin Singh does not provide solutions; he provides his tale. A man who had everything the majority would be envious of, a life in the US that was comfortable, a job that seemed gilded on the surface, and yet woke up one morning to find himself just. existing. That one sentence knocked me flat. Because how many times do we mix comfort with contentment?
His choice to give it all up and move back to India, ultimately creating Peepal Farm, isn't framed as some kind of heroic escape. It's a series of raw observations about slowing down, learning to live on less. The stripped-down nature of those moments seemed strangely freeing. You feel him rediscovering purpose not in big moves but in the simple things of being useful, kind, and authentic.
As I read, I found myself stopping not because the writing was thick, but because it reflected. What if happiness isn't something we pursue, but something we discover once we stop running from it?
This book didn't inspire me the way self-help books do. It humbled me and brought my eyes open and as he says, I could relate! It made me think that perhaps happiness isn't buried in accomplishments or material things, but in tiny things that make the world a teensy bit kinder, saving an animal, planting something, sitting peacefully without feeling the need to share it.
I didn't finish by nodding in approval only, but I was quiet as well. The good kind of quiet, the one that invites you to examine your own life, quietly.

This is a fast read—you can finish it in a couple of hours. But it’s the kind of book you’ll want to return to every few months.
It’s not a feel-good self-help book. Instead, it makes you pause, reflect, and face questions you’d usually avoid asking yourself. At times, it feels uncomfortable, almost like standing in front of a mirror and seeing your raw self.
You may or may not choose to answer those questions, but one thing’s certain—you won’t walk away the same. It nudges you to think differently, and if you let it, to live differently too.

Happiness Happens is a simple, easy-to-read book that offers gentle clarity on what happiness is, and what it isn’t. Rather than trying to radically change your beliefs about life and living, the book takes a quieter, more thoughtful approach, which seems intentional.
What it does provide is a subtle blueprint for asking more mindful questions and living with greater awareness. In doing so, it nudges the reader toward happiness as a by-product of purposeful living, rather than something to be chased directly.
This book is a good recommendation for moments when you feel lost despite having achieved many of your goals—a calm, reflective guide to help you reconnect with meaning and direction.

This book is like a conversation. A very easy and quick to finish making it ideal for non-readers.
'Happiness Happens' is for those:
1. Who are already seeing the world and life from a different lens than the general social template and want to get some insights on how to deal with that vision
2. Who have everything but still aren't happy but also stuck in the loop of 'having more'

A beautifully simple book about walking away from noise, finding purpose, and redefining what happiness truly means.
It's a must-read for anyone who feels everything is fine yet something is missing inside.

This is a gentle and encouraging book that reminds you to appreciate the little moments in life.
This book reminds you that happiness isn't something you discover; it's something you gradually achieve. This book encourages you to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the quiet victories in your daily routine. There are no complicated theories or heavy-handed advice.
I loved how simple the ideas were – small moments, small changes, everyday choices – yet they held so much meaning. All the ideas were practical and relevant – nothing complicated, just small steps that really do make you feel a little happier.
This book is uplifting without trying too hard, reflective without being too heavy, and it's the kind of book you read when you need a gentle push back towards yourself.
Overall, if you are looking for something relaxing, simple, light, really uplifting, a positive book that will give you a smile and a calm mind then this book is a good choice.

A reminder about purpose. Nothing crazy but a good read and perfect if you’re unsure of your own purpose and need a reminder. A book to come back to when you need a mantra to bring you back on track.

“𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮.”
☁︎ 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 is a calm breath among all the noises. In this world where everyone is obsessed with achievement, rustling, hustle and big milestones - this book helps to take a pause. Singh's story is not about any self cliché but about a real life journey of a particular man who has all - a perfect marriage, money and a successful tech business in the US - yet he felt something missing from his life.
☁︎ He left all to find his happiness - he returned to India to start Peepal Farm, a humble animal rescue and organic living community in Himachal. This book is a memoir with past reflection and a part of philosophy of simple living. I felt that this book is about finding happiness through less.
☁︎ The beginning of this book opens with a fast paced successful life of the author in the US - he has made successful all the material success in his life, yet he thrives for inner peace: “𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞” After all these goals and high profile association, he felt empty from his inner core.
☁︎ For most of us, our real happiness can be varied - but when he asks himself what "𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬" means to him - a series of small realizations leads him towards the meaning of life rather than money. “I didn’t come back to escape the world. I came back to feel it again”. It's hard to believe the transition - leaving modern life to feel the simplicity and validation.
“𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.”
☁︎ It's also comforting how an author speaks about his success, failure and discomfort - he tells us success without any purpose is just another form of emptiness.“𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 - 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞”. It is better to give your care to animals, simplifying your life and creating an impact that becomes the true success of your life.
“𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 '𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞?’ 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞”
☁︎ The author doesn’t sugarcoat any point. The plot is simple, clear and conversational and deeply personal. It's like reading a letter from your friend. The tone is simple and philosophical. The proportion of silence and humility is well balanced. It makes me realize what I should nurture instead of what is available to nurture within my limits. If you are tired of constant race - you should give it a try.
☁︎ The author doesn’t offer you anything except honesty.

This book is something we need to read . Most of the people around us doing what they don't want too but may be the need and situations made them to do so. Even I . I am not denying i am doing something forcefully but I am not actually living. The situations made me , to do so. This book give me a next level of satisfaction . It isn’t about quick fixes or perfect quotes on happiness ~ it’s about the quiet, raw truth of what it means to live a meaningful life.
Author’s own story begins like so many of ours ~ chasing goals, ticking boxes, doing everything “right.” He had success, comfort, and stability, but something within him still felt incomplete. When he finally decided to walk away from that noise and build a life rooted in compassion and simplicity, his journey turned into a search for something far deeper than comfort , it became a search for peace.
Through his words, you can feel the stillness of the mountains, the warmth of rescued animals, and the honesty of someone who isn’t pretending to have all the answers. He admits his confusion, his doubts, his fears, and that’s what makes it so real. His reflections on letting go, finding purpose, and learning to listen to your inner voice are gentle reminders that happiness isn’t something you chase, it’s something that quietly appears when you start living truthfully.
The book made me, to think about what I truly need, and what I only think I need. It made me realize that joy often hides in the simplest places in kindness, in giving, in silence, in being present.
This isn’t a story of success , it’s a story of surrender. A story of a man who found everything only after he stopped searching. It’s soulful, healing, and deeply human , a warm reminder that sometimes happiness doesn’t arrive with noise, it simply happens… when you’re finally ready to live honestly. After reading this book I feel that author is genuinely living in peace. Atleast he never thought that "I haven't done the things I want too". For me it's a courageous read and a ray of hope .

Are you genuinely happy? How often do you reflect on your happiness and the factors that influence it? Many of us hold the belief that once we achieve certain milestones—be it a promotion, a new car, or even a significant relationship—we will finally obtain the happiness we've been seeking. But what happens if you reach these goals and still find yourself feeling unfulfilled?
The book "Happiness Happens" delves into this intriguing exploration of happiness and self-fulfillment. Written in an autobiographical style, the author invites readers into his life, sharing poignant insights about his upbringing, particularly his relationship with his mother, which shaped his emotional landscape. He also recounts his journey to securing a successful job in the United States, enjoying a handsome salary and seemingly living the dream that many aspire to. Yet beneath this facade of success lies a troubling realization: he is not truly happy.
In his quest for understanding, the author embarks on a transformative trip to India, driven by a desire to alleviate the suffering of animals. His travels take him to the stunning landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, where he engages in meaningful research aimed at addressing the plight of these creatures. This journey sparks the inception of PeepalFarm, an initiative dedicated to animal welfare and the reduction of suffering.
Throughout the book, the author grapples with profound questions surrounding suffering and happiness, encouraging readers to examine their own lives and the ways in which they might ease the suffering of others.
I found this book to be a thought-provoking read that invites introspection about what it truly means to be happy. If you're searching for an engaging and reflective read to enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I cannot recommend "Happiness Happens" enough. It offers not only insights into the author's life but also valuable lessons that resonate with the universal human experience.

Right from the title and the cover, Happiness Happens feels like an invitation to pause, to sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation with yourself about the choices you make, the paths you walk, and the kind of life you wish to live. We often chase happiness as if it’s something outside of us, a destination we’ll reach once we’ve achieved, acquired, or accomplished enough. Robin Singh challenges that very idea. He begins with a simple yet profound question: What is happiness? And as you read on, it quietly transforms into something deeper. Are we truly happy?
Through his journey, Robin invites readers to reflect on their own. A man who once “had it all” – success, stability, financial freedom – chose to walk away from the noise and comfort of the world to seek something deeper, something real. His search for purpose and meaning eventually led him to found Peepal Farm, an animal rescue and awareness centre, a space that embodies compassion and conscious living. What I loved most about this book is how Robin doesn’t glorify his choices or present them as the ultimate truth. Instead, he opens up space for readers to question – not just what happiness means, but why we chase it the way we do. He dissects the subtle difference between pleasure and purpose, between merely existing and truly living. Between the lines, you’ll find moments of doubt, courage, and awakening. Robin writes about embracing discomfort instead of running from it, and about facing the existential suffering that most of us try to avoid. It feels raw and real. He reminds us that happiness isn’t found in external success, but in awareness, in aligning our choices with our values.

In an attention-seeking world, this amazing book is like a soft whisper. The book by Robin Singh is a masterfully written examination of what it means to live life to the fullest and be truly happy. He talks about his experience eschewing a life of conformity to social norms in favor of one that is genuine, compassionate, and simple. What really strikes a chord is Singh's realization that happiness is something we let ourselves experience rather than something we can attain. The voice is modest and quiet, and it invites us to take stock of ourselves, stop, and breathe. He has walked the journey and is now sharing his views with us, so his writing is like having a discussion with a wise friend.
The book which is both beautiful from the inside and the outside is a reminder that happiness isn't always a grand, sweeping emotion, but often a quiet, gentle whisper that says, 'You're enough.'It lies in small things and little moments of your life like your pet's tint paw , baby's laughter or smile, in your mother's lap or in your father's arms. To experience it we just need to slow down, listen to our hearts, and trust that the answers we seek are already within us or around us but never far.
Singh's story is a testament to the fact that happiness happens when we stop chasing it and start living life on our own terms.
As he said, ''I didn't come back to escape the world. I came back to feel it again.''
This book is a beautifully human reminder that happiness is not a destination, but a journey, and one that's worth taking. It's a book that will make you pause, reflect, and ponder, and in doing so, will show you a mirror that will help you see yourself in a new light.

Happiness Happens is a book that is quite different from the usual self-help books that are currently available. Robin does not impart a lot of jargon or tips to achieve happiness, rather he explains his journey of self-realisation and how in his quest in finding the answer to the question of “What is happiness” he explores various things and finally arrives on the concept of Peepal Farm. The book is essentially his story of what he did through the years and how his perspective on life changed as he started looking at it from a completely different lens. What I loved about the book was that there is nothing right or wrong that is classifies, rather his idea is only to understand what is your own understanding of happiness, and then how you chart your way towards it. Another thing I really liked was that he does not deal in absolutes. His writing does mention that as an individual, you get to choose how you pave your way towards your own happiness. One of the key takeaways from the book for me was to ask the right questions, and to have the courage to take actions once you decide what you want to do with your life.
This book might not give you the answers to what you are looking for in life, but at the same time, it does help you find the right perspective towards life, and how to walk towards your own definition of Happiness. The writing in the book is simple and easy to understand. There is no jargon or words coined to explain the meaning of life, but rather it is the story of the experience of Robin as he goes through life. The book is a simple read, and the focus is on the message which makes it even more interesting.

”I decided that I will try to learn how to become a happy person, for which I first had to learn how to become a person.”
- Robin Singh, Happiness Happens
Singh's servings of his life starts with the most vulnerable moments, how he managed to build a successful one amidst his parents' deteriorating equation. His candid voice will make you pause and reflect on life's miraculous ways.
He transformed what he called ‘half-baked thoughts’ into tangible beliefs called ’brain dumps’ that decided his next course of action.
”Just because you don't actively think about your beliefs does not mean that they don't impact your behaviour.”
In one of the earliest chapters in the book, he says - ”Nobody teaches us about personhood. We get a manual for the gadgets and machines we buy, but none for ourselves.” With this thought and noble intention, he began to invest more time on how to become a better person by paying repeated visits to the local library at Tucson.
’Happiness Happens’ is an incredible read that goes beyond just being a ’manual’ of life. By mapping his beliefs to the circumstances of his life, Singh lends the book honesty and authenticity. The writing is accessible but layered, sifting through the myriad vagaries of life.
It takes a great amount of courage, to inspire people slowly by building upon the incidents that shaped not only your character, but also your understanding of pain, resilience, and growth—turning personal trials into lessons others can relate to and learn from.

One thing that I have learned in 2025 and that has pushed me to live my life, like not just survive but actually live my life is aligning my mind, body and soul. Living in the present by consciously being aware of it, feeling grateful for the life I am experiencing and the love that I already hold it within me. Most of the humans are unaware of this alignment and thus they suffer, they suffer because they let their mind & ego control themselves rather than living from their soul and controlling their mind & ego. Reading Happiness Happens: Happiness for those who have everything else by Robin Singh exactly teaches us this, it teaches us to align and to live with awareness because that is where happiness, joy, love and truly inner peace resides.
Here are 5 lessons that any reader will take away from this book and if you feel unhappy or stuck, why you should read this book:
1) Always ask yourself "What is my deeper purpose?" rather than focusing on "How much more can I achieve or what more can I buy?"
2) Simplify your life, focus on what truly matters and avoid distractions and lead a life of minimal consumption.
3) Focus on how you’re living (values, purpose, actions) rather than fixating on being “happy”.
4) Make space for introspection. Ask “who am I, beyond my job/possessions?” “Why am I doing what I’m doing?” Align your outer life with that inner ‘why’.
5) Examine your consumption/choices: what can you reduce or redirect to align with contribution?

HAPPINESS HAPPENS - ROBIN SINGH
Imagine that we are living a decent life but you still realise that something is off and you aren't quite happy - what do you do? How will you find that happiness?
.
This pertinent question is answered by Robin Singh, founder of Peepal Farm in this part memoir when he was in a similar situation and after a lot of soul searching he came with sort of like a guide book to those feeling similarly.
For me what resonated most was having a purpose in life as once you have a purpose your entire focus gets shifted and in turn reduces emotional suffering to the point that it becomes your reality. This also helps in building confidence and being decisive.
This book will resonate with all people living in this fast paced modern world for when they pause to reflect on their lives and ask if they are truly happy at the moment and the true essence of happiness! Reading this will help them figure life itself via the author's own eg as he talks about his own struggles and eventually finding peace.
This is a book you will keep coming to from time to time in your life - it will make you pause, reflect and ponder and show you a mirror which you were unable to do so before making and pushing you to do things differently with a favourable outcome!

What does happiness truly mean to you? When was the last time you felt it, really felt it? Do you think happiness takes effort, to feel it yourself or to bring it to someone else?
Happiness Happens by Robin Singh is a masterpiece in understanding the quiet celebrations of joy. Happiness isn’t always serene or comforting; sometimes it’s a moment of breakthrough, sometimes it’s simply the courage to move forward.
This book offers a visionary perspective on happiness, guiding you through the journey of consciously choosing a path that leads to something beyond imagination.
It reveals how taking a small chance, investing just a bit of time and effort to align your actions with your true motives, can completely transform your life.
The author’s introspective dialogue with himself reshaped the way I express my own thoughts and emotions. Reading it has shifted something deep within me. It’s a gentle yet powerful reminder of the constant tug between materialism and realism.
With its honest, unpretentious tone and writing that feels genuine rather than performative, Happiness Happens stands out as a rare gem, a book that reflects sincerity, not just inspiration.

This is one of those books that is not trying to sell you the idea of happiness; instead, it will make you reflect on your own. Happiness Happens is the story of author Robin Singh, who has everything a person could wish for: a comfortable life in the US, financial stability and the love of his life by his side. Yet despite all of this, he is not happy. This part, right at the very beginning, hit me very hard because most of us relate to this.
In search of meaning beyond the material success, he goes on to start Peepal Farm, an animal rescue centre. And from there his journey truly begins.
The writing is simple, conversational and deeply introspective. Here the author is not putting himself perfectly and preaching; instead, he is admitting to his failures, confusions and doubts. The simplicity of his language makes complex ideas easy to understand. The blend of philosophy and practicality makes this book more special.
Overall, this book is not just about finding happiness; it is about realising it and understanding it.

This book was about what happened to the author while exiting his tech company and starting Peepal farm- An animal rescue centre. Through his personal journey the author wants to make readers know the realistic meaning of happiness. This non fictional read was full of real and raw emotions. People who are dissatisfied with how they have been living but haven't yet been able to figure out how else to live, this book was written for them. At the times I myself felt dissatisfied and disappointed but while reading this book I realised how one can find happiness with whatever he owns. I loved the way it has no artificial or traditional lessons in the name of finding happiness. The best thing was the writing style, the author has mentioned his personal confusion or doubts.
I got many takeaways from this, some are mentioned below.
~ To believe in humanity and kindness.
~ Finding happiness in the purest forms.
~ Be helpful for animals
~ To do efforts today for tomorrow's happiness
~ Believe in Karma & Actions
~ Have a specific purpose
~ Have patience and Goals

Reading Happiness Happens was a deeply grounding experience. Robin Singh’s story made me pause and reflect on how easily we confuse success with fulfillment. As I moved through the pages, I could almost feel his restlessness, the quiet ache of someone who has everything yet feels incomplete. His journey from the structured world of technology to the compassionate chaos of Peepal Farm felt raw and real, not as a dramatic transformation but as a gradual awakening. What struck me most was his honesty in admitting that he still does not have all the answers, that life remains a mystery, but living it with purpose gives it meaning. The book made me think about my own definition of happiness and how often it shifts depending on where I stand in life. It reminded me that happiness is not a fixed destination but something we stumble upon when we live with intention. Reading it felt less like reading someone’s story and more like quietly confronting my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
The first time I got to know about Robin Singh's Peepal Farm, I thought it was bold. As I followed them and got to know more about them, I realised that Peepal Farm (and Robin Singh) wasn't bold, just dedicated to an honest cause. This book explores what made him start Peepal Farm, and what really makes us people happy.
Like his social media, Singh keeps things simple and profound in this book as well. This book reads less like a memoir or a self help book, but more like a conversation with a friend. When you step into Singh's mind, you understand and even empathize with his calling, his wonders.
Happiness Happens is a story that reminds you to find questions in your life, and find happiness as you answer them.

A nice book that talks about how to be happy in life.
The author is not a professional writer, and it comes out in the writing. I don’t mean this in a negative manner. In fact, because of this, whatever the author says feels more natural and easy to digest.
Overall, the author says that to be happy, we should try to find a purpose, try to make the world better place by helping others, be kind, take ownership of our lives, and understand the difference between what we can control and what we cannot.
I liked the book, and would recommend it to anyone who is a little lost and wants to understand the perspective of someone similar.
