Happiness Is Homemade is a charmingly illustrated book, especially made to prevent us from stressing over this crowded digital world that often plagues us.
A blogger, illustrator, and doodle artist—Puty Puar shares her simplest yet deepest thought about life. What is happiness? Where do we find it? Puty tried to picture it; that happiness isn't a matter of size; big or small, near or far, alone or together. The book offers a bunch of inspirations and some sources of happiness:
Giving a sincere comment and accepting one
Unexpectedly finding money forgotten inside your pocket
Getting home on time, just before the rain started
Deleting messages you thought you’ll never let go
And not pretending to love or understand something —that is so not us, just to impress others
Eventually, happiness is indeed inside our heart. And home is wherever out heart is, and happiness is homemade.
