Endpleasure

/ˈɛndˌplɛʒər/ noun

Definition

Pleasure or satisfaction derived from achieving an end goal or completing something, as opposed to pleasure from the process itself.

Etymology

From end + pleasure, a compound formed to contrast with process-based pleasure; reflects 19th-century philosophical thinking about goals and satisfaction.

Kelly Says

This word captures something psychologists study today—some people are 'end-pleasurers' (they only care about finishing), while others are 'process-pleasurers' (they enjoy the journey), and this difference shapes how you approach life!
