'Life in Three Dimensions - How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life' by Shigehiro Oishi, PhD is what motivated this class. The book introduces the concept of a psychologically rich life, alongside the two better-known paths of a happy life and a meaningful life. This class will explore each of these paths to a good life to see whether Oishi's concept may help us to see the world through a new lens.
