I really liked the part where you provided several examples of the Peak-End Rule in everyday life.

I was familiar with the concept from studying Daniel Kahneman's works, but your post added a new layer of understanding for me.

Now, I can consciously apply it in my lifeā€”ending on a high note and adding unique experiences along the way.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reading through, Ravjot! And thatā€™s really usefulā€” I have reduced giving real-life examples in recent issues owing to the length of the newsletter. Now, I merely mention them in 2-3 bullets. Maybe, I should keep including them šŸ¤”

Yes, real-life examples can add a lot of value.

You could try a middle groundā€” 2-3 bullets are great, but adding a bit more detail could make them more engaging. Maybe try sharing them as short stories to add a personal touch.

Experimenting with different formats is a great idea to find a balance that works for both you and your readers.

Great post! So nice to see how to tie this possibly difficult concept to understand with such an easy to follow example! Good that the boat had a Plan B on their sleeve (they had mimosa ingredients??!)

I'll add that Disney is a master in peak end experience! The songs they play on the very long path to the ticket entrance (for the parking spot and bus spot - probably more than 10 minutes walk) has really jolly, engaging, animated music. It really hypes you up!

Once the day ends are you're walking back to your car/bus, the songs in those "walking escalators" sound system invoke more of "nostalgia feelings", you're going "calmer" and happy you were there.

Thank youuu! I had discounted the music, thatā€™s absolutely true! Also, thereā€™s a video on YT on how Disney designs their theme parks - the amount of psychological tools being used to capture visitors attention is insane!
