This is the case for Shigehiro Oishi's father, who has lived in a small mountain town in Japan for his entire life, putting his family's needs above his own, like his father and grandfather before him. But is a happy life, or even a meaningful life, the only path to a good life?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Life in Three Dimensions, Shige Oishi enters into a debate that has animated psychology since 1984, when Ed Diener (Oishi's mentor) published a paper that launched happiness studies. A rival followed in 1989 with a model of a good life that focused on purpose and meaning instead. In recent years, Shige Oishi's award-winning work has proposed a third dimension to a good life: psychological richness, a concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration, and a variety of experiences that help us grow as people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLife in Three Dimensions explores the shortcomings of happiness and meaning as guides to a good life, pointing to complacency and regret as a \"happiness trap\" and narrowness and misplaced loyalty as a “meaning trap.” Psychological richness, Oishi proposes, balances the other two, offering insight and growth spurred by embracing uncertainty and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a lively style, drawing on a generation of psychological studies and on examples from famous people, books and film, Oishi introduces a new path to a fuller, more satisfying life with fewer regrets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66789420335219,"sku":"9780385550390","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1041\/4963\/files\/9780385550390.jpg?v=1791194985","url":"https:\/\/nationalbookstore.com\/products\/life-in-three-dimensions-hardcover-selfhelp","provider":"National Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
