202204101040 - Living intense experiences is an important complement to a good life
- The author described psychologically rich life as an overlooked concept when talking about living a
good life
1. - While purpose (
meaningful life
) & happiness (happy life
) are the predominantly discussed drivers, their key disadvantage is monotony. We can have a great steady job with meaning to us, being married and have children and yet feel "bored out of mind". - The
intensity
of any experiences - good or bad - matters a lot to us as humans and creates psychological satisfaction. - Each individual will weight the components differently, dependent on personal preferences and ideals.
