Book Reviews of The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types
Book Review: My favorite Enneagram Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Enneagram isn't easily taught through reading a book, but this one does the best job in both introducing the types and more importantly giving clear ways to work with the system. By including core features and super-ego messages, it helps the seeker go a bit deeper into the types than any other of the books I read--getting behind the personality into what drives and feeds it. The little test at the beginning of each chapter are pretty good, but I think it's better to look at the chart of the levels in each Type chapter to help discover your Type. The chapters feature many exercises to guide the reader into self reflection.Other features, like the "Red Flag" fears of each Type, are addressed helping a person notice when they are losing themselves. I think this is a good book both to introduce the system and for the more knowlegeable student of the System. I have used it as a source to take me deeper and deeper on personal journey and a clear way to help others understand themselves.Book Review: ORIGAMI FOR THE SOUL
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never been very good at science, but this book seems pretty easy at explaining hard concepts like "myself." If you read this you will learn how many numbers you have inside and why that is really REALLY good.
I think it is good for this to be a book, maybe my favorite ever, but also I like the Extreme Teen Bible by Nelson publishers is good too.
Book Review: Practical self assessment book
Summary: 4 Stars
Really neat for even beginners, better for people that have already been involved with this philosophy. Once you have narrowed down which one of the 9 types you most likely represent more closely, you start the journey of self improvement. It has helped me greatly - but do not expect fast results. Finding yourself takes time and you may at first mis-diagnose yourself or you may be in a phase of where you transcend from one type to another.Book Review: Reader in Denver
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredible work! This is THE BEST Enneagram book available, combining the psychology of the personalities with the spiritual force at work in all of our lives. This powerful combination allows the reader to move from mere typing of themselves or others to an actual practice of learning to release him or herself from their ego mind. This book is the real stuff, a true gem from gifted spiritual Teachers who come from a place of understanding.Book Review: Riso and Hudson have done it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yet another excellent book on this extraordinary personality typing system from best-selling authors Don Riso and Russ Hudson. They keep taking this material deeper and deeper, and bringing their readers ever more thoughtful insights into the power of the Enneagram, which has broad applications in the realms of both work and love. A must-read.
