What is a good life, and how can we create it?

Forty-plus years of research has pointed to two answers.

The first says that a good life is a happy life, one created by pursuing comfort, satisfaction and more joy than sadness.

The second says that a good life is a meaningful life, one grounded by purpose, connection and making the world better.

But recently, researchers have proposed a third answer: A good life is a psychologically rich life, marked by novel experiences, perspective-shifting insights and complexity, but also more discomfort and challenges than a happy life or a meaningful life.
