Shige Oishi on How to Live a Psychologically Rich Life | EP 571

happy day or happy week is not so much many different emotions or many different things, just everything turned out to be how you expected, how you anticipated, and everything went well. Yeah, psychological rich life is different in a sense that you could have a lot of sorrows and sadness and angers.

But as long as you learn from it, so in our studies, those people who experience a lot of negative emotions, learn something new from it, and then they change their perspective in life. And that was crucial for psychological richness. Negative emotion is not just, oh, it's okay to feel angers and so forth. Yes, but it is good because that really makes you think about your life and the world.

And then you start to see differently about yourself and the world. And that's what's enriching about negative emotions and negative events. That's why I want people to embrace sometimes some of the potential negative consequences. We become too safe and try to stay in the comfort zone and sometimes to avoid the negative emotions. But sometimes it's okay.

It's even better, I think, to try to go put yourself in uncomfortable situations, go beyond the comfort zone, and then you learn something new and you become wiser and your life is psychologically richer.

I love Tom Gilovich's work, and I think it is really profound that in the short run, we really regret about something we did, something we said, stupid things we said. But in the long run, it is we regret something that we didn't do. I should have stayed in school. I should have taken that job and so forth. And that really, I think, influenced the way I think about good life.

And that's why I felt some of the approach to happiness is missing because it's if it's the frequent, comfortable interactions with the people that makes you happy, then obviously when you have a chance to move to another company or another city or another country, you wouldn't do that, right? But that could really give rise to, in the end, a huge life regret. Why didn't I do that?

I should have taken that job. I should have taken the opportunities. To me, I think that the psychological richness mindset is to minimize this huge life regret of inaction. And yeah, many of the research I did, I think, emphasize that in the short run, we're so worried about making mistake and saying the wrong thing or doing wrong things. And we don't do it.
