The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types

This is the first book to offer specific, practical methods for psychological and spiritual growth to each of the nine personality types. It integrates precise knowledge of the nine types with wisdom teachings from a variety of spiritual sources around the world, including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Sufism, and Fourth Way Teachings.

This book presents the Enneagram as "a map of the soul," laying out the path each type can take from the outer layers of the personality to the inner core of its True Nature. Most importantly, Wisdom demonstrates how the Enneagram can be used to develop Presence and awareness, without which, meaningful spiritual development is not possible.

Understanding The Enneagram

by Don Riso and Russ Hudson

No Enneagram teachers I've come across offer such a rich and dynamic picture of how each personality type expresses itself in the world, and the process by which we can move through progressive stages of psychological and spiritual growth." - Tony Schwartz, author of What Really Matters: Searching for Wisdom in America.

The new Second Edition of Understanding the Enneagram has been completely revised and expanded by Russ Hudson working with Don Riso. They have included over 100 pages of new, previously unpublished materials, and have completely updated everything in the book.

Understanding the Enneagram is the favourite Enneagram book of many because of its usefulness, variety of content, brevity, depth, and ease of use. It was originally conceived as a companion volume to their groundbreaking Personality Types, but is also a completely independent resource book, indispensable to anyone who wants to use the Enneagram and make applications of it in their lives and work.

Understanding the Enneagram contains all-new material, including the most complete treatment anywhere of the "traditional" Enneagram (Passion, Virtue, Fixation, and Holy Idea), as well as the "Missing Piece," the Imbalances of the Centres, the Interrelated Enneagram, and the Paths of Transformation.

Also included are completely revised and expanded versions of profiles of the types, recommendations for growth, misidentifications of all 36 type permutations, more on the Levels of Development, psychiatric correlations with the DSM-IV, and the connections between personality, Essence, and spirituality
