  1. 191 — Are You Living a Psychologically Rich Life? Here's How to Find Out with Dr. Shigehiro Oishi Amy Morin 51:46

Do you crave a richer, more adventurous life? On today’s episode, we’re exploring the concept of a “psychologically rich life”—one filled with novel experiences, deeper connections, and a sense of wonder. It turns out, happiness and meaning aren’t the only ingredients for a fulfilling life. Psychological richness can add depth and vibrancy to your everyday routine.

I’m talking to Dr. Shigehiro Oishi, a leading happiness researcher, psychologist, and celebrated author of Life in Three Dimensions. With a career spanning groundbreaking research on human well-being, he’s here to share what it means to live a truly adventurous and reflective life—and how you can start making small changes to experience richer, more fulfilling days. Some of the things we discuss are:

  • What makes a “psychologically rich life” (and why it’s different from happiness or meaning).
  • Simple ways to add adventure and spontaneous joy to your daily routine.
  • Why routines and rigid habits might be holding you back.
  • A powerful mindset shift for navigating failures and setbacks.
  • How storytelling can transform even ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones.
