Beyond Happiness and Meaning
You have probably heard of two kinds of good life: the happy life and the meaningful life. But there is a third kind: the psychologically rich life. It is not about how happy or purposeful you feel, it is about whether your life is filled with interesting experiences, novel events, and perspective-changing stories.
A happy life can be quiet and stable. A meaningful life can be routine. But a psychologically rich life usually is not. It often comes with instability, uncertainty, and even discomfort. These things will not necessarily make you happier, but they will make your life richer.
Interpretation
- 61-84: High — your life feels rich and interesting to you
- 37-60: Moderate — a mix of richness and routine
- 12-36: Low — your life is more stable and predictable
