I'm very familiar to the Enneagram, having attended a seminar, listened to lectures and read other books. The Enneagram truly is a wisdom, and this book completely does it justice. It's a beautifully holistic approach written in a very clear and logic language. I love the humbleness and the serenity in which this book is written. The Enneagram is a tool to the healing of the self and opening the doors to universal abundance. In my opinion it's the best tool out there and as the writers beautifully say, if the right elements come together (including the Enneagram) "things can happen fast". Everybody should read this book! This world would be a much better, peaceful place if everybody went on this journey of self-discovery and self-healing. This is my humble belief.

I first encountered the enneagram several years ago when I was seeing a counselor who had studied under Riso and Hudson The experience was quite illuminating in many ways. This book was a useful supplement to those sessions. I have recently found renewed interest in the enneagram and what it can teach me about myself and thus have finally acquired my own copy of the book. If you're ready to delve more deeply into the enneagram, this book is a highly recommended resource from two authorities on the subject.

The proof is in the pudding. Life has changed for the better with insights learned/t? and at least considered from the this book. A precious gift for spiritual seekers and curious, lovers of humanity. Used for straight personality profiling it is useful but does not reach the depths of peace available when used at a map of the soul and a map to freedom.

Fr. RIchard Rohr (Center for Action and Contemplation) recently did a series on the Enneagram and I found it fascinating. If there is any way to improve myself to better serve God and community, I'm all for it.
