Jonathan Haidt provides fresh perspectives on pathways to a fulfilling life. Adam Grant acknowledges Shigehiro Oishi's work in uncovering a rarely considered aspect of a fulfilling life: psychological richness. This new perspective on happiness suggests that a richer life includes curiosity, exploration, and diverse experiences. Oishi, a leading psychologist, argues that happiness based on simple pleasures may lead to complacency, whereas a life driven by purpose might foster misplaced loyalties. By focusing on psychological richness, individuals can experience personal growth and a deeper life satisfaction. Oishi blends stories from his own life with the experiences of figures like Steve Jobs, Oliver Sacks, and Alison Gopnik. He draws on interdisciplinary research from moral philosophy, literature, culture, neuroscience, and psychology to illustrate how this richness can improve our lives. Laurie Santos describes the book as an engaging guide that emphasizes the significance of inviting more curiosity, exploration, and richness into our lives.
