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 or purposeful life that follows a well-trodden path. But is a happy life, with the complacency it fosters, or even a meaningful life, which comes with narrowness and misplaced loyalty, the only path to 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 with fewer regrets.

One of the foremost authorities on happiness, meaning and culture, Shige Oishi is the Marshall Field IV professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. Oishi has published over 200 journal articles and book chapters across his career and has been one of the most cited personality and social psychologists. In 2021, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award for Advancing Cultural Psychology. The Psychological Review paper on a psychologically rich life he co-authored with Erin Westgate received the 2022 Wegner Theoretical Innovation Prize. Oishi's research has been featured in major media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Financial Times.
