ABOUT THIS BOOK: Abraham Maslow's Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences (1964) explores the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and human potential. Maslow argues that spiritual experiences, which he terms "peak experiences," are not confined to organized religion but are universal human phenomena that can occur in various contexts, such as nature, art, or deep personal insight. He challenges traditional notions of religion, advocating for a "naturalistic" approach to spirituality rooted in human psychology. Maslow views peak experiences as moments of transcendence where individuals feel deeply connected to something greater than themselves, leading to profound joy, insight, and a sense of meaning. The book also critiques rigid dogmas and emphasizes the importance of personal values and self-actualization in fostering a fulfilling life. It aligns with Maslow's broader work on humanistic psychology, promoting a holistic understanding of human potential and growth. Seller Inventory # 16515
