Abstract
Abraham Maslow claimed that peak experiences are unsual, but everyone has the potential of having them.
The article surveys the peak experience characteristics and its definitions, as well as close conceptualizations (mystical experience, revelation/epiphany, trans-personal experience, flow, zone, quantum leap), and offers the term “Positive Peak Experience”.
