About the author
ANDREW HARVEY is the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and the author of more than one book, including Son of Man and Sun at Midnight.
Harvey was the youngest person ever awarded a fellowship to All Souls College, Oxford. His memoir A Journey in Ladakh was praised as "one of the best books available on the Western experience of Tibetan spiritual life."
Harvey has devoted thirty years to studying and experiencing the world’s spiritual traditions, with a focus on mysticism and contemplative living. That immersion in spiritual practice across traditions shapes the concerns at the heart of his writing.
