Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences

Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences by Abraham H. Maslow explores the profound connection between human psychology, spirituality, and the quest for meaning beyond organized religion. Maslow presents the concept of "peak experiences"—moments of intense joy, insight, and transcendence—as universal human experiences that shape our values and provide a sense of purpose. He argues that these experiences, often associated with religious epiphanies, are not exclusive to faith-based traditions but are instead part of the natural human condition. By distinguishing between institutionalized religion and personal spirituality, Maslow advocates for a more secular, humanistic approach to spiritual fulfillment. The book challenges traditional ideas of morality and religiosity, encouraging readers to seek self-actualization and embrace life’s most profound moments of awe and wonder as essential to personal growth and psychological well-being.
