10% Happier with Dan Harris

Feeling Stuck? Dull? Flat? Here's a Better Path to the "Good Life." | Shigehiro Oishi


Listen Later

An often overlooked secret, from a U. Chicago happiness expert.

 

Shigehiro Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is one of the foremost authorities on happiness, meaning, and culture. His newest book is Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life.

 

In this episode we talk about:

  • How our obsession with productivity is flattening and dulling our lives
  • The definitions of both happiness and meaning—both of which have, until now, been considered the main paths to a good life 
  • The potential downsides of pursuing happiness and meaning 
  • Shige introduces his third path to a good life—psychological richness 
  • Skills for developing psychological richness
  • Tools for becoming more playful
  • he difficult balance between detachment and healthy ambition 
  • How to reframe adverse experiences
  • Re-storying tools for reframing the "hard shit" in our lives
  • And much more
