In 2008, Soundararajan introduced the resonance method to study extreme values of certain families of $L$-functions. In this talk we report on a recent work with Sanoli Gun where we use the resonance method to study how often the $L$-functions attached to normalized Hecke eigenforms take large values at the central critical point.
