About the Author
Douglas Edison Harding was a pioneering philosopher and explorer of consciousness whose work revolutionized the way individuals perceive their own existence and the world around them. Born in England in 1909, Harding developed a unique approach to self-inquiry through simple, experiential experiments that challenge conventional notions of identity and reality. His seminal book, On Having No Head, published in 1961 and reissued in 2013, invites readers to experiment with 'headlessness'—a direct, at-first-hand investigation into the absence of a fixed self at the core of awareness. Throughout his life, Harding conducted workshops and lectures worldwide, emphasizing practical spirituality over abstract theory, and his teachings continue to inspire seekers in the realms of Zen, Advaita, and contemplative practices, offering profound insights into the unity of all experience.
