Peak-End Rule
- The peak-end rule explains how we misremember experiences based on the most intense or final moments, not the average.
- This affects how we view past relationships, clinging to peaks or dwelling on painful endings.

- A colonoscopy study showed patients judged the experience by peak pain intensity, not overall duration.
- Reducing pain at the end improved their memory, even if the procedure was lengthy.
Challenge Romanticized Memories
- Challenge romanticized memories of past relationships by acknowledging the broader context.
- Recognize that peaks are single moments, not the whole story, to gain clarity.
