Helen Palmer

From a "leading teacher and practitioner of the Enneagram," the first book to give practical advice on how to have the best love and business relationships (San Francisco Chronicle).

Love and work are the cornerstones of life—the sources of pleasure, anxiety, elation, and disappointment. With The Enneagram in Love & Work, Helen Palmer, noted Enneagram teacher and bestselling author, explores the wisdom of the Enneagram system and applies it to the most important areas of our lives—our relationships with our families and lovers, clients and bosses, coworkers and friends.

The Enneagram is a remarkable personality typing system that defines nine types of people and how they relate. It also explains why we behave in the way that we do by uncovering our unconscious motivations and deeply rooted influences. With vivid examples and insightful description, Palmer introduces the nine types—Perfectionist, Giver, Performer, Romantic, Observer, Trooper, Epicure, Boss, and Mediator—and illuminates each one's strengths, weaknesses, and potentials. Examining each type individually and in connection to others, Palmer shows how all our relationships in love and work can thrive with a newfound understanding of our similarities and differences.

"More than anyone, she has helped bring [the Enneagram] alive." —Tony Schwartz, Esquire
"A remarkable teacher . . . She has uncanny skill and integrity in observation and is brilliantly clear in expression . . . I have found the Enneagram the most powerful method of understanding and treating individuals and relationships." —David N. Daniels, MD, clinical professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Stanford University
