About Me: Dr. Sandip Roy
Hi, I’m Dr. Sandip Roy. I help people get happier.
I’m a board-certified medical doctor from the National Medical Commission, India. Also, the Founder and Chief Editor of The Happiness Blog.
The Happiness Blog ranks in The Top 25 of the 100 Best Psychology Blogs in the world.
I have in-depth expertise in mental health writing. Have written 1+ million words on mental health and the psychology and philosophy of happiness, since 2014.
My interests are in positive psychology (the science of happiness & well-being), hacks to a happier and easier life, and Stoicism.
I help my audience discover solutions from science and philosophy on how to:
- increase happiness and life satisfaction,
- learn important skills to balance life and success, and
- find practical solutions to trending and pressing mental health issues.

I try to read around 20 books a year.
I have been practicing as a general practitioner and family physician for more than a decade. I currently live in Delhi, India.
Besides practicing at my clinic, I also speak to the general audience on Happiness Science. I talk about how they can raise their happiness levels, and how it can have a massive impact on their personal and professional stories. I base my happiness-enhancing techniques on psychological research.
Motto: Let’s bring more happiness into our lives.
