Happiness Happens

Robin Singh had everything he thought he wanted--financial security in the US, a successful career, and a loving marriage--yet he was not happy. In his quest for fulfillment, he discovered purpose, realizing that true meaning comes not from chasing happiness, but from pursuing purpose itself.
Happiness Happens follows the period between leaving his tech company and founding Peepal Farm, an animal rescue center. It is a collection of the questions he asked and the answers he found along the way. While Robin cannot explain the meaning of life, he offers insight into why we live and how we can live well.
This book is a simple, heartfelt exploration of what truly makes us happy, aimed at those who feel dissatisfied with their current lives and are searching for a better way forward.

Robin Singh is an entrepreneur who started his career as a hacker in 1997. He then founded E-junkie in 2003, a service to remove technology barriers for artists and authors wanting to sell their digital content directly to buyers. Later that year, he moved to Tucson, Arizona and continued to build E-junkie.

After successfully exiting in 2011, Robin started working to help animals in February 2013. Realizing that the nature of welfare projects in India being such that they can't be scaled by scaling the infrastructure, he changed the strategy from just 'doing' to involving and inspiring. In December 2014, he started Peepal Farm--a place for animals to heal and be heard--along with two other co-founders. He's been building it, running it and living there since.
