Title: Life in Three Dimensions: What is a Good Life?
Abstract: What is a good life? To be happy oneself? Is it personal happiness? Or is it to make others happy even at the expense of one’s own happiness? This talk will explore these questions, and highlight three related but distinct dimensions of a good life: happiness, meaning, and psychological richness.
