Geoff Dyer on peak experiences

This is an interview with the writer Geoff Dyer about peak experiences and places of numinous power. We discuss peak experiences reached through drugs, nature, love and ping-pong. Is 'peaking' a secular replacement for religion, or is there a risk the pursuit of peaks turns life into an extended gap-year?
