Title: The Wisdom of the Enneagram Pdf The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types
Recommended by two highly credible authorities, consciousness explorer Ken Wilber and spiritual-growth guru Harville Hendrix, this compendium of Enneagram information was assembled by the cofounders of the Enneagram Institute as an introduction to the subject. Designed with a plenitude of charts, boxes, and quotes (by noted illuminaries such as A.H. Almaas, Maya Angelou, and G.I. Gurjieff), this exceptionally easy-to-use, manual-size paperback teaches the reader how to figure out which of the nine types she is, identifies red flags to self-illusion, and provides practical suggestions for spiritual growth. Advice on how to observe your type's fixations and let go of the need to act out automatic and dysfunctional behavioral responses are down-to-earth and attainable. A distinctly accessible approach to cultivating daily happiness through understanding the complexity of fixations that weave together human personality types. --Randall Cohan "The Wisdom of the Enneagram is a very important book. By combining the horizontal types of the Enneagram with a system of vertical levels of awareness, Riso and Hudson have produced one of the first truly integrated models of the human psyche. In addition to the importance of this pioneering work itself, it goes to point up the utter inadequacy of anything less than a full-spectrum model of human growth and development. Highly recommended."--Ken Wilber, author of The Marriage of Sense and Soul"I highly recommend this book, not only to anyone on the path of personal transformation, but to anyone who wants to understand the complex inner world of others, whether a spouse, family member co-worker or friend. The questionnaires were fun and illuminating. I received some very helpful information about myself, felt challenged to grow and experienced a deepening of compassion. Perhaps the most profound contribution of The Wisdom of the Enneagram is reflected in the word "Wisdom." The authors clearly communicate the complexity of human nature, the spiritual yearning resonant in all of us, and the ascending levels of our possibility. But they do not leave us there. They offer a clear path for personal and spiritual evolution."--Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of Getting the Love You Want"Don Riso and Russ Hudson thoughtfully engage the richness and depth of the Enneagram, and conjure with its power as a tool of transformation. The Wisdom of the Enneagram is filled with its own wisdom and depth. You'll find yourself returning to it over and over again and discovering new treasures."--Tony Schwartz, author of What Really Matters"The Wisdom of the Enneagram is not only a clear and comprehensive description and discussion of this ancient personality typology, but also a major and original contribution to its use and further development. Don Riso and Russ Hudson have designed simple practical guidelines and tests that make it possible to determine one's own personality type and use this knowledge for healing and psychospiritual transformation."--Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of The Adventure of Self-Discovery
The ancient symbol of the Enneagram has become one of today's most popular systems for self-understanding, based on nine distinct personality types. Now, two of the world's foremost Enneagram authorities introduce a powerful new way to use the Enneagram as a tool for personal transformation and development. Whatever your spiritual background, the Enneagram shows how you can overcome your inner barriers, realize your unique gifts and strengths, and discover your deepest direction in life.
The Wisdom of the Enneagram includes:
Two highly accurate questionnaires for determining your type
Vivid individual profiles focused on maximizing each type's potential and minimizing predictable pitfalls
Spiritual Jump Starts, Wake-Up Calls, and Red Flags for each type
Dozens of individualized exercises and practical strategies for letting go of troublesome habits, improving relationships, and increasing inner freedom
Revealing insights into the deepest motivations, fears, and desires of each type
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.
Completely recommended. I've know about the Enneagrams for about 10 years, and read summaries of the system. It seemed an intriguing explanation of behaviors and motivations. When I hit a sticky patch in my life I bought a copy and found it immensely helpful is understanding (without condemnation) the interactions of myself with others.The book is written in such a way you can absorb it at whatever level suits where you are at. For people seeking a spiritual pathway, there is plenty to get your teeth into. But if, like me, you are more anchored in pragmatism, there is also a great quantity of useful and thought-provoking material. What I particularly liked was how the concepts embraced all Religious and philosophical systems. It was not confronting; the less attractive aspects of the personality types were balanced with the attractive. to either formal codes of belief or personal ones. Gentle humour helped dispel any points that could betaken as personal criticism. I especially appreciated the reference to arranging the spice shelf alphabetically. (Oops, mea culpa!)I can see I shall be dipping in and out of this book for many many years to come. I shall get new insights and old reminders about how my personality type deals with Life and how I can utilise those traits to maximise my experience to positive advantage.I recommend this book to anyone who feels the need to add some insight into their lives. Riso and Hudson offer interesting, thoughtful and useful ways to navigate personal transformation. My only complaint is that the book cover of the paperback copy is very flimsy and gets curly and worn very easily.Personality: from disorders to enlightenment Now I finally, really understand the Enneagram. The missing piece for me was that the instinct (default emotion) for care-givers, go-getters, and individualists is shame rather than sadness. I love that it gives a scale for how each type evolves. These personality types (identified in the 1950s) are now backed by neuroscience. What we value (control, connection, certainty) determines where your attention is directed. The brain likes to specialize in a "de-fault" emotion: anger (control), shame (connection), and fear (certainty). Anyone who wants to understand personality from disorders to enlightenment should read this book or learn about the Enneagram!Best of the Enneagram Books This is the best of the Enneagram books, in my opinion, and I've read about 10. This is really a "textbook" enneagram source. It's the most thorough, getting into the different levels, wings, and triades in detail. Also, more organized with out they lay out and present the content. INcludes helpful diagrams as well.The Enneagram of personality is a great tool to help you better understand yourself and others. It's also great to understand where you're at and what it looks like or what it takes for you to "transcend" and really be in your element, so to speak, being a healthy, confident, effective and helpful person in the world. Helps you reach your potential!
