This term psychologically rich just describes what I chase." – Madeline"Psychological richness and the desire to grow and be curious and be open... just gave me that language to be like, yeah, I don't always prioritize the happy life because there's something that matters more to me." – Madeline"Perhaps true psychological richness isn't found in harmony or a balance, but in the raw intensity of the experience..." – Cynthia"It all makes sense! This is why I ran away from teaching! And, like, why I just basically should have bumper stickers all over my car and say, I hate systems!" - Maggie"...people whose lives are psychologically rich tend to seek out challenges and value learning and are less interested in maintaining the status quo." – Quote from the paper: A Psychologically Rich Life: Beyond Happiness and Meaning, Oishi, S., & Westgate, E.
