Love Isn't Enough Finding a Psychologically Rich Life…in Portugal!
In this intimate, story-driven episode, Joree and John explore three complementary paths to a good life: pleasure (hedonic happiness), purpose (meaning), and the often-overlooked third path: psychological richness. Drawing on positive psychology research from Dr. Shigehiro Oishi's "Life in Three Dimensions," they unpack how novelty, challenge, and perspective shifts can transform not only your mood, but your worldview. You'll hear the mindset shifts behind their next big leap - relocating to Portugal - and how they moved from what was "pushing" them (escaping comfort and routine) to what was "pulling" them (following intuitive breadcrumbs, synchronicity, and community). They explore further what it means to be stuck on the hedonic treadmill, and how gratitude and savoring can interrupt it; why meaning without balance can narrow your life; and simple ways to diversify your daily experiences so you're changed by the way you choose to live. This episode blends candid storytelling including wrong turns, roundabouts, and serendipity, science-backed tools in areas of mindfulness, values, strengths, and relationship wisdom. If you've been craving more aliveness, adventure, and connection in your life, consider this your invitation to design a psychologically rich one.
