Happiness and purpose may not be enough for a truly rich life.
In this episode of The Midlife Chrysalis, Chip Conley joins Derek Gehl to explore psychological richness and why curiosity, new experiences, challenge, and spontaneity become especially valuable as we age.
You’ll discover: Why psychological richness matters as we get older and how curiosity keeps us engaged with life. The question that can reshape your next decade: What will you regret not learning, doing, or investing in 10 years from now? Why becoming a beginner again matters, from learning a new skill to pursuing a passion you’ve neglected. Why spontaneity and stepping beyond routine enrich our lives and open us to experiences we might otherwise miss.
