By examining existing research and sharing people's actual encounters in different contexts, such as music, education, sport, creative arts, and nature, the importance and value of peak experiences and self-transcendence in our lives can be better understood and fostered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the challenges, benefits, and opportunities presented by understanding peak experience in contemporary contexts. Drawing on research from positive and transpersonal psychology, each of the 12 chapters reports on a work or leisure context where peak experiences have been generated and studied. The chapters are introduced by drawing on relevant theory and research, and then expanded via accounts, vignettes, and examples from people immersed in those activities or contexts to provide a blend of case stories and theoretical foundations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is valuable reading for professional practitioners such as psychologists, educators, coaches, psychotherapists, and those interested in personal development.
