In this throwback episode, we're determined to be happy. Psychologist Shige Oishi joined us to explore the three dimensions of a fulfilling life: happiness, meaning, and psychological richness. He shared insights from decades of research into subjective well-being and revealed how personality traits, life experiences, and cultural contexts shape what we consider a “good life.” From challenging the “happiness trap” to embracing life’s rich diversity, this conversation is a roadmap for deeper self-reflection and greater fulfillment.Topics[[[[[[[[©2025 Behavioral GroovesLinksAbout ShigeLife in Three Dimensions by Shigehiro OishiHappiness is Everything, or Is It?Join us on Substack!Join the Behavioral Grooves communitySubscribe to Behavioral Grooves on YouTubeMusical LinksCharlie Parker - Honeysuckle RoseClifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring
