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?
Interviewer: Jules Evans
