The peak-end rule affects how we remember experiences, focusing on extreme moments and endings rather than duration.
We tend to prioritize memories over current experiences, leading to flawed perceptions of happiness and decision-making based on past events.
To be happier, focus on active leisure, spending time with loved ones, being present in the moment, and maximizing activities that bring joy while minimizing those that don't.
There are two selves we live with: the experiencing self and the remembering self. The experiencing self lives in the present moment, while the remembering self focuses on what to remember and what to forget, following the peak-end rule.

Holidays provide a unique opportunity to create happy memories for both our experiencing self and remembering self. Whether you're on a break or working, it's essential to live in the moment and make happy memories.
