Imagine you're eating a cookie. If it's too sweet, it hurts your tongue, but if it's just right, it feels amazing! Our brains like things that are not too much and not too little. We call this feeling an optimal experience. It’s like when you’re playing a game and everything fits perfectly.
Examples
- Eating a cookie that’s not too sweet
