The Concept of Psychological Richness

Psychological richness is a concept introduced to expand the discussion of happiness and meaning in life. Unlike traditional measures that focus solely on personal happiness or finding meaning through altruism, psychological richness encompasses a diverse and interesting life filled with new experiences. An individual might lack stable happiness or a strong sense of meaning yet still lead a psychologically rich life through engagement with unusual or challenging situations. This framework allows for a broader interpretation of what constitutes a fulfilling life, emphasizing exploration and perspective change over mere contentment.
