But as a young man Oishi felt compelled to follow a winding road that led him far from home. He became an award-winning psychology professor, seeking to know which path--to stay or to go, the familiar or the unknown, his father's path or his own--is the better path to a good life. In \u003ci\u003eLife in Three Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e, Oishi shares his journey of discovery and offers readers a groundbreaking new understanding of happiness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What makes for a good life, he asks? Is it the simple, predictable pleasures we call happiness? Or can happiness lead to complacency and regret? Is the answer a deep sense of meaning and purpose? Or can a life of purpose invite narrow or misplaced loyalties? Both happiness and meaning as paths to a good life have decades of scientific research to support them. But in recent years, Oishi has uncovered a third dimension to a good life, \u003ci\u003epsychological richness\u003c\/i\u003e. A psychologically rich life prioritizes curiosity, exploration, and a variety of experiences. These can be as simple as taking a walk, as complex as moving to a new country. Key to a psychologically rich experience is a shift in perspective that helps us grow.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLife in Three Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e explores lives defined by psychological richness: those of prominent people like Steve Jobs, Oliver Sacks and Alison Gopnik; characters from literature and film; and ordinary people who--in college, at midlife, and beyond--embraced uncertainty and challenge to deepen and enrich their lives. In this wise and delightful book, Oishi shows how anyone at any age can build a fuller, more authentic life.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509626724625,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780385550390.jpg?v=1778164512","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-life-in-three-dimensions-by-shigehiro-oishi","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
