About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book approaches the Enneagram in a slightly different way and one which I appreciated very much.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The most comprehensive and easiest introduction to the Enneagram. It not only walks you through finding your personality type, it puts you in touch with your relationships to other types, thereby enabling you to honor their perspective and build positive communication with them, whether personal or professional. I often give this book as gifts to intelligent and inquiring people who earnestly want to understand how human interactions work.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Essential Ennegram lightens it all up for us. It's a book I can give to a curiosity seeker and 9 out of 10 times they come back to me wanting to learn more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating approach to a sometimes very Left brain approach. This book is what drives me to continue trying and learning from varied personality test. My favorite test after 40+ years of taking various Personality tests
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love this book! I am currently in a psychology course on career counseling and at first the concept of Enneagrams seem like a mathicmatical equation for space travel..lol Ok so I am exaggerating a bit, but it is very confusing at first glance. However, this book allows a step-by-step process of how to discover your number. Enneagram is about discovering your disposition personality type.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I highly recommend this as an introduction to the Enneagram, suitable for a wide audience interested in psychology, spirituality, and personal growth.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the nice things about this book is that not only does it make it very easy to explore the different types and discover your own type, it also provides tips and practices for all types and for each specific type to encourage personal development
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a really good introduction to the Enneagram. I've struggled in the past to identify my Enneagram type, and I don't think I would have been able to using the just the initial test at the start of this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book approaches the Enneagram in a slightly different way and one which I appreciated very much. The author, after having the reader take the test to determine the numbers for the Enneagram, explains how we become the person that we are. In the back of the book, the author helps us to see how those around us, our community, can help us become more balanced individuals.
