The Next Hill
Most people measure their lives by happiness or meaning. But psychologists have identified something better: richness. Not a third option alongside happiness and meaning -- a more complete measure of a life well-lived. A rich life is full of diverse, perspective-changing experiences. It has texture, depth, and range. You can be happy on autopilot. You can find meaning in a narrow lane. But richness requires the whole map.
This assessment measures your life across ten dimensions, grounded in five bodies of peer-reviewed research. It takes about 10 minutes. At the end, you'll see the shape of your life -- where it's full, and where there are gaps you might not expect.
Based on: Oishi & Westgate, "A Psychologically Rich Life" (Psychological Review, 2022) · The Harvard Grant Study, 87 years of longitudinal data on what predicts flourishing · Erikson's psychosocial stages on generativity and legacy · Buettner's Blue Zones research on the world's longest-lived communities · Experiential Diversity Theory on how variety of experience predicts resilient aging (Psychology and Aging, 2024)
"This was a quick but meaningful gauge of where I am. It enabled me to identify in a meaningful way my successes with richness of life -- and my opportunities. I was surprised my soul wasn't better. I recommend it to anyone looking to assess and expand the richness of their life."
