On Having No Head
Book • 2002
Douglas Harding's "On Having No Head" is a seminal work exploring the nature of self-perception and consciousness.

The book uses simple yet profound exercises to guide the reader towards a direct experience of reality, free from the limitations of conceptual thought.
Through these exercises, Harding aims to reveal the inherent freedom and spaciousness of consciousness.
The book's impact lies in its ability to facilitate a shift in perspective, leading to a deeper understanding of one's own being.
