Many people report occasional “peak experiences.” These are generally moments or episodes in a person’s life in which he or she feels a sense of great uplifting, joy, excitement, contentment, or some other highly positive emotional experience. Indeed, these experiences vary widely. Some people report them to be associated with religious or mystical experience. Others find great joy or excitement in vigorous athletics, reading a good novel, artistic expression, or in love or friendship. A peak experience may be seen as a “high point” in your life story — a particular experience that stands out in your memory as something that is extremely positive. Please describe below in some detail a peak experience that you have experienced sometime in your life. Make sure that this is a particular and specific incident (e.g., happened at a particular time and in a particular place) rather than a general “time” or “period” in your life. Please write about exactly what happened, when it happened, who was involved, what you were thinking and feeling, why this event is significant, and what this event says about you and your personality.

Include all of the following in your written description of the event:

When did the event occur? (How old were you?)
What exactly happened in the event?
Who was involved in the event?
What were you thinking, feeling, and wanting in the event?
Why do you think that this is an important event in your life story?
What does this event say about who you are, who you were, who you might be, and how you have developed over time?
