The Little-Known Secrets To A Good Life, with Shigehiro Oishi

  • Summary

  • What makes a good life? For decades, psychologists have debated whether true fulfillment comes from happiness—a life of comfort and joy—or meaning—a life of purpose and impact. But what if there's a third way?

    University of Chicago psychology professor Shigehiro Oishi has spent his career studying happiness, meaning, and what truly brings people deep satisfaction. His new research suggests that some of the most fulfilled people don’t prioritize either—they live psychologically rich lives, full of novelty, challenges, and transformative experiences.

    In this episode, Oishi explains why psychological richness might be the missing piece in our search for fulfillment.
