What does it really mean to live a rich life? Today’s guest, Dr. Shige Oishi, challenges what we usually think of happiness and meaning by introducing us to the concept of a "psychologically rich life."
A psychologically rich life is about collecting diverse and transformative experiences that shift our perspectives and expand our minds, rather than just chasing positive feelings or a singular sense of purpose. Social psychologist and author of the new book, Life in Three Dimensions, Dr. Oishi shares why seeking variety, spontaneity, and novel experiences can profoundly enhance our growth, resilience, and overall fulfillment.
You'll learn:
- Why chasing happiness alone can set you up for disappointment—and what to pursue instead.
- How psychological richness enhances well-being through diversity and depth of experience.
- Practical strategies to incorporate more richness into your daily life and why spontaneity is key
- The role fiction and storytelling play in expanding your emotional and cognitive horizons
- How reframing setbacks as opportunities for interesting experiences fosters resilience.
