Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Enneagram is a geometric figure that maps out the nine fundamental personality types of human nature and their complex interrelationships. It is a development of modern psychology that has roots in spiritual wisdom from many different ancient traditions.

#2 The Enneagram can be extremely valuable in today's world to show white and black, male and female, Catholic and Protestant, Arab and Jew, straight and gay, rich and poor that if they search beneath the surface differences that separate them, they will find a new level of common humanity.

#3 The Enneagram is not a religion, but it does concern itself with one element that is fundamental to all spiritual paths: self-knowledge. Without self-knowledge, we will not get very far on our spiritual journey.

#4 The Enneagram works best when you identify your type and begin to understand its dominant issues. You will find a questionnaire to help you narrow down your basic type, and between these two tests and the descriptions and exercises in the type chapters, you should be able to discover your type with a high degree of certainty.
