It would be difficult for most of us to spend a day without coming into direct or indirect contact with dozens of people, relatives, friends, people in the street, in the workplace, on television, in our dreams and fears. The relationships with others are the most changeable, infuriating, pleasurable and mystifying aspects in the lives.

The ancient symbol of the Enneagram has become one of today's most common models of self-understanding, focused on nine distinct types of personality. Two of the world's leading Enneagram experts are now implementing a powerful new way of using the Enneagram as a method of personal transformation and growth. Whatever your religious history, the Enneagram illustrates how you can resolve your internal obstacles, understand your unique gifts and abilities, and discover your true course of life.

THE 9 TYPES OF PEOPLE:

 • The Perfectionist motivated by the need to live life the right way; improve one-self and others; and avoids anger.
 • The Helper motivated by the need to be loved and appreciated and to express your positive feelings towards others.
 • The Achiever motivated by the need to be productive; to achieve success; and to avoid failure.
 • The Romantic motivated by the need to understand your feelings and to be understood to search for the meaning of life; and to avoid being ordinary.
 • The Observer motivated by the need to know everything and understand the universe and to be self-sufficient
 • The Loyalist motivated by the need for security; to feel taken care of; or to confront your fears.

Highly accessible, yet filled with sophisticated concepts and techniques found nowhere else, The Wisdom of the Enneagram is a strikingly new fusion of psychology and spirituality. It offers an exciting vision of human possibility and a clear map of the nine paths to our highest self-expression.
