Wow. So that's the issue. Happiness is great, but sometimes it's boring. And for some people, boring is better than challenge and difficulties. And I totally get that. But I think what you get with the psychological richness is the unexpectedness, something completely new about yourself and the world and somebody else as well.

I think actually you can find richness in the familiar environment of even your spouse of 40 years or 50 years. Sometimes when you put yourself in a new situation, you discover something new. I mean, my wife and I met in 1991. And it was around 2010, I think, for the first time I realized I don't have anything on the wall. So I said to her, I was like, oh, we should buy some paintings.

And then she said, oh, I can paint. And I was like, what? I didn't know you can paint. And then she just started painting and painting. And I discovered a completely new part of herself. And I think these things could happen even if you live in a stable life. If you just encounter some completely new situations, you discover something new from the familiar individual.

So I'm not saying you have to go out and do something new every day all the time. It is something sometimes that's the easiest way to discover something new. But a lot of time rereading your favorite book, second time, third time, you discover something new. Right. I mean, I'm reading Raymond Carver's Cathedral like third time today. And I was like, wow, I missed the first two times.

And it's just amazing. bring me something new. And of course, with the life experiences, you can relate to different aspects of the stories as well. So I always think that psychological richness is not necessarily only achievable through direct exploration.

You can do a lot of things by reading, watching, listening to the podcast, and talking to your old friends you haven't talked to for decades, for instance. You learn something new. So there are many opportunities out there. Even if you live a life like my father in a small village surrounded by the same people, you can still find something new.
