Do You Want to Live a Psychologically Rich Life?
If you are in your final stretch of Maycember, we feel you. Here is your nudge to take a little break from the May madness, and maybe listen to our latest episode about what it means to be psychologically rich. In "Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life", Shigehiro Oishi, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago, shares his research and the ways leading a psychologically rich life can transform how you prioritize your days and goals.
As Shige shares, “a psychologically rich life is a life filled with diverse, unusual, interesting experiences that change your perspective; a life with twists and turns; a dramatic, eventful life instead of a simple and straightforward one”.
For those of you who feel that something is missing from your lives, or that your dreams and goals don't fit with societal expectations of more money and possessions, this conversation is for you. Shige Oishi has given us happiness hacks and a definition of living our lives in search of experience, adventure, learning and connection.
