Robin Engelman is a psychologist, writer, and creator of the Happier Hour Method—a simple, science-backed approach to emotional resilience built on tiny daily rituals. She’s spent over 25 years helping people find calm and strength in the middle of real life—including in addiction recovery centers, a maximum-security prison, and now in her private practice.Her upcoming book, Unlocked: How Inmates Taught Me the Key to a Self-Led, Happier Life, shares powerful stories and practical tools to help anyone build emotional strength from the inside out. Robin lives in Northern California with her husband, teenage son, and their new dog, Zaza. She finds peace hiking in the redwoods, believes healing doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful, and writes about all of it on her Substack: Happier Hour Method @drrobinengelman.
