Life in Three Dimensions - How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life - E-book - ePub

Embrace the transformative power of variety and experience for a life of fulfilment. We've been told that a good life is a stable life, a comfortable life that follows a well-trodden path. But, with the complacency it fosters, can a happy life, or even a meaningful life, really be a good life?In Life in Three Dimensions, one of our foremost psychologists Shige Oishi proposes a third dimension to a good life: psychological richness, a concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration and a variety of experiences that help us grow as people.
Weaving his own story with original research from fields ranging from moral philosophy, literature, culture, neuroscience, personality and psychology, Oishi proves that psychological richness has benefits beyond happiness or meaning. Ultimately, we see how anyone can use the three dimensions - happiness, meaning, and psychological richness - to build a fuller, more satisfying life.
