The Five Star Minute

Anmerkungen

A restaurant meal can feel special when it's freshly prepared and beautifully presented, yet the leftovers can seem far less appealing the next day in a plastic container. Episode 280 explores how strongly context influences perceived value. The same thing can feel ordinary or extraordinary depending on where we experience it, how it's presented and what memories we attach to it. Perhaps some of the valuable things in our lives haven't become less special at all. We've simply become used to having them.
