The big idea: What’s the real key to a fulfilling life? | Philosophy books | The Guardian theguardian.com/books/2025/jan…
Awesome to see "Life in Three Dimensions" featured in bookstores all over the world, including the Philippines!
Is a happy life, or even a meaningful one, the only path to a good life? Shigehiro Oishi's award-winning work proposes a third dimension to a good life: psychological richness—a concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration, and a variety of experiences
If you’re looking for happiness, try psychological richness instead…
What I love about @UChicago is that I can stop by and chat with intellectual icons like @ayeletfishbach!
@Shige_Oishi just dropped by my office with his new book Life in Three Dimensions—I’m excited to dive in! He's been challenging us to think beyond the pursuit of happiness. What about meaning and psychologically rich life? Turns out, there’s more to life than just feeling good.
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking at #AspenIdeasHealth about what fuels a good life. Special thanks to @AubreyNPR for asking wonderful questions and @aspenideas for having me! Check out the full conversation: aspenideas.org/sessions/what-… #Wellbeing #PsychologicalRichness

A big congratulations to @ThomasTalhelm for receiving the Early Career Award from @iaccp!
Honored to receive the Early Career Award from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology! 😇 @iaccp @CDR_Booth d2r0txsugik6oi.cloudfront.net/neon/resource/…
A truly heroic effort and monumental achievement by @DanTGilbert, Susan Fiske, @EliJFinkel, and @wendybmendes to make the free, open-access Handbook of Social Psychology a reality - thank you for all of your hard work!
Since 1954, "The Handbook of Social Psychology" has been the field’s most authoritative reference work, and today is the launch of the all-new 6th edition. Best news? The HSP is now an open-access public resource—free to read, download, and share. the-hsp.com
Looking forward to speaking at the @aspenideas festival in a little over a month!
💡 Psychologist @Shige_Oishi, author of “Life in Three Dimensions”, will offer a fresh perspective on well-being, advocating for a life enriched by curiosity and exploration to achieve psychological richness.
...is there value in a life that is neither happy nor meaningful? @Shige_Oishi & I argue "yes" - that living in "interesting times" can itself offer a third (if unconventional) path to the good life. Check out our latest TiCS piece (gift link): authors.elsevier.com/a/1k%7ERX4sIRv…
