While hiking in the Himalayas, philosopher of mind Douglas Harding suddenly realised that he had no head. "This is not a literary gambit" he writes, "I mean it in all seriousness: I have no head." The most prominent living proponent of 'The Headless Way', Richard Lang, through a range of thought experiments offers a path for you to realise you've not got one too.
