We all want a good life. But do the simple, predictable pleasures we call happiness lead to complacency and regret? Does a life of purpose invite narrow or misplaced loyalties? Now, one of our foremost psychologists Shigehiro Oishi proposes a new way to live. Psychological richness is a concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration and a variety of experiences. Whether it’s taking a walk, or moving to a new country, they cause a shift in perspective that helps us grow.

This groundbreaking new understanding of happiness reveals how anyone can build a fuller, more authentic life.

‘No one knows more about the science of wellbeing than Shigehiro Oishi . . . insightful, original and wise’ Daniel Gilbert
