The Art of the Interesting: what we miss in our pursuit of the good life and how to cultivate it explores the value of interesting experiences, how they enhance our lives in ways left short by happiness and meaning, and how we can learn to have more of the interesting in our lives!
“Lorraine Besser has done a remarkable job of integrating philosophy and psychology to suggest, for the first time, a crucial new element of the good life beyond the traditional philosophical ends of happiness and meaning – psychological richness. The idea is that an interesting, varied life is an end and value in itself.
—Alison Gopnik, author of The Scientist in the Crib, columnist WSJ and Prof. of Psychology and Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley
This is an exceptionally rich and creative idea.”
