The Man With No Head

Richard Lang & Victor Lunn-Rockliffe

The Man with No Head is a graphic biography of the philosopher and spiritual teacher Douglas Harding, whose lifelong question was deceptively simple: Who are we really?

Drawn and written in collaboration with Richard Lang, the book follows Harding’s extraordinary life and the radical insight that emerged from his direct observation of experience — the discovery that at the centre of our lives there is an open, aware presence that cannot be reduced to the face we see in the mirror or the roles we play in the world.

Part biography, part visual exploration, the book combines humour, philosophy, travel, conversation and experiment in an attempt to approach difficult ideas in a human and accessible way. Rather than presenting a doctrine, it invites the reader to look freshly at ordinary experience and the mystery of consciousness itself.
