An often overlooked secret, from a U. Chicago happiness expert.

Shigehiro Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is one of the foremost authorities on happiness, meaning, and culture. His newest book is Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life.

In this episode we talk about:

How our obsession with productivity is flattening and dulling our lives
The definitions of both happiness and meaning—both of which have, until now, been considered the main paths to a good life
The potential downsides of pursuing happiness and meaning
Shige introduces his third path to a good life—psychological richness
Skills for developing psychological richness
Tools for becoming more playful
The difficult balance between detachment and healthy ambition
How to reframe adverse experiences
Re-storying tools for reframing the "hard shit" in our lives
And much more
