In this book the author of On Having No Head investigates the most
poignant problem our life poses - what lies at the end of it. He
asks us to check four things. First, that to discover whether we
are perishable, we must first discover what we are. Second, that
outsiders are in no position to tell us this: they can only tell us
what we look like at a distance. Third, that what we are is obvious
as soon as we dare to look. And fourth, that we turn out to be in
all respects the opposite of what we had been told. This
revolutionary conclusion is arrived at by doing the nine "tests for
Immortality" that form the backbone of the book. Then, our identity
and immortality having been firmly established, we apply this
knowledge to the fact of ageing and of dying itself, thus realizing
their infinite potential for joy. Finally, the book explores in
detail the true resurrection life - life lived in a Heaven which is
none other than this earthly scene perceived as it is. 'The "open
secret" is no longer secret. Douglas Harding's Little Book of Life
nd Death makes the insights of the sages accessible to all.
Courageous, personal and inspiring, this book asks the most
difficult questions about life and death, and to our - and
apparently even the author's - amazemnt, answers them. Like
Harding's classic book On Having No Head, this work is written in a
down-home, heartfelt syle. Read this book. Do the "experiments"
which are Harding's unique and powerful contribution to what might
be called the technology of enlightenment. Get ready to die, and to
live anew.' Rober W. Fuller. Former president, Oberlin College.
'The literature on dying will never be the same again.' Ram Dass
The source of happiness, love, and meaningful lives lies within
ourselves. This book explains how to uncover and tap this inifinite
centre. It is a remarkable book, practical and accessible
eminentely readable.

This book begins with the question 'Who am I?' and immediately sets
off in an astonishingly original direction. Why didn't anyone
before Harding think of responding to this question like this? It's
so obvious, once you see it. Harding presents a new vision of our
place in the universe that uses the scientific method of looking to
see what is true. It turns out that the truth about ourselves is
not only true but also very good, and breathtakingly beautiful. We
live in a sacred, many-layered, living universe - or rather it
lives in us. Though it was completed in 1950, this book is still
ahead of its time. One day it will surely be widely recognised for
its greatness: its all-encompassing vision, its originality and
freshness, its depth of insight, its wide-ranging knowledge, the
clarity and poetry of its language, its humanity. It is a
world-view not dependent on local culture or religion, but on
universally verifiable facts. It is also a world-view that respects
our manifest differences whilst celebrating our underlying unity -
the unity not just of oneself with other people but with all of
life, indeed with the whole universe. Harding died in 2007 aged 97,
leaving behind him an impressive body of work. He was a highly
creative person who was passionate about - he was in love with -
this living universe and the immortal treasure that abides at its
centre - at our centre. "A work of the highest genius." C. S.
Lewis.
An infallible guide to eliminating stress by Douglas Harding,
author of On Having No Head. When we come up against stressful
situations in our everyday life our automatic reaction is to turn
away and escape. If, on the other hand, we can accept stress, allow
it to become part of us, the conflict disappears. The secret lies
in seeing that either we are the No-thing that overcomes stress by
excluding it or the Every-thing that overcomes stress by including
it. This method of coping with stress applies to its many
manifestations in our lives. It can turn boredom into joy and
despondency into deep contentment. Learning to head off stress
takes no time at all and is impossible to forget. All it requires
is tht we dare to take a fresh look at ourselves. Revolutionary in
its ease and directness, its simplicity and penetration, this
approach is guaranteed to turn our preconceptions upside down.
