A lot of wisdom packed into little space,
By
This review is from: Enneagram Transformations: Releases and Affirmations for Healing Your Personality Type (Paperback)
If you are familiar with the enneagram and your own enneagram type this book is a great tool for personal transformation. For those not familiar with the enneagram the book has a brief introduction to the enneagram. The releases and affirmations are a quick and straightforward way of working with ourselves without the need to read a lot of theory. I like the simple and yet profound approach this book gives to personal development and positive change.
Sample releases for different types: 1 - I now release holding myself and others to impossible standards. 2 - I now release all feelings of hate and resentment toward others. 3 - I now release being obsessed by my hostile feelings towards others. 4 - I now release turning my anger and aggressions against myself. 5 - I now release all fearfulness of the world around me. 6 - I now release my fear of being abandoned and alone. 7 - I now release all reckless and destructive impulses. 8 - I now release all anger, rage and violence from my life. 9 - I now release not taking an active interest in my own life. and sample affirmations: 1 - I now affirm that I can make mistakes without condemning myself. 2 - I now affirm that I own all of my feelings without fear. 3 - I now affirm that I have value regardless of my achievements. 4 - I now affirm that I am not defined by my feelings. 5 - I now affirm that I am secure and grounded in the reality of my own life. 6 - I now affirm that I am independent and capable. 7 - I now affirm that I am happiest when I am calm and centered. 8 - I now affirm that I believe in people and care about their welfare. 9 - I now affirm that I am confident, strong and independent. The book has a chapter on each of the nine types. Each chapter has a short description of the psychological dynamics of the type, which is followed by the 25 transformations (16 releases and 9 affirmations) for the type. The book ends with a chapter on enneagram and healing. An easy and highly recommended read for anyone interested in changing their life for the better with the wisdom of the enneagram.

Helpful,
By Karen S (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enneagram Transformations: Releases and Affirmations for Healing Your Personality Type (Paperback)
Worth getting if you're really into the enneagram and know your type. Mainly a list of simple affirmations that strike a chord, more self-help and spiritual than other enneagram stuff that focuses on the personality types descriptions.

Enneagram Based Self-Help in 25 Sentences?,
By Peter Messerschmidt "denmarkguy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enneagram Transformations: Releases and Affirmations for Healing Your Personality Type (Paperback)
This is one of the "odd" little books residing in my self-awareness library. Yes, I do own this book. Don Riso is well known as one of the world's foremost experts on the Enneagram and he has written some of my most used books on the topic, but this slim volume (130 pages in mass-market paperback size)is quite a departure from his normal style. Gone are the deep psychological analyses of personality types and their behavioral patterns-- replaced by a set of 25 single-sentence statements (16 "Releases" and 9 "Affirmations") for each of the nine Enneagram types. There's also a final section with "general" affirmations relevant to all types.And that's about it, folks. So who would really benefit from this book? Well, if you're looking to learn about the Enneagram, this is NOT a good book. Get yourself Riso & Hudson's "Personality Types," instead. However, if you're already a student or fan of the Enneagram-- and are interested in some self-exploration/self-improvement in addition to learning-- this would probably be of interest, as it is a nice companion to more "scholarly" texts. If you're someone who enjoys daily affirmations as motivation-- and you do KNOW your Enneagram type, but *don't* care about the system, otherwise-- this might also be a good book for you, since the affirmations are accurately matched to your particular personality type and will seem remarkable "relevant." Essentially, this is not much of an "Enneagram book," rather, it is a somewhat lightweight "self-help book." The real question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you're willing to pay "the price of admission" to get 25 "motivational insights," well matched to your particular personality. Final thoughts: Recommended (8 out of 10 possible bookmarks), but only for the SPECIFIC audience outlined above. Otherwise-- to paraphrase Obi-Wan-- "This is NOT the book you're looking for." 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

Not worth the purchase unless you really ejoy affirmations,
By "lefty_liberal" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enneagram Transformations: Releases and Affirmations for Healing Your Personality Type (Paperback)
I really think this information should have been included in one of Riso and Hudson's other books...For example it would have fit well into "The Wisdom Of The Enneagram: The complete guide to psychological and spiritual growth for th nine personality types." I think that an individual who is already aquainted with the enneagram and who strongly benefits from the use of affirmations can get something out of this book...But otherwise I don't feel its worth the purchase. 11 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

Not a bad little book but not really my approach,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enneagram Transformations: Releases and Affirmations for Healing Your Personality Type (Paperback)
This is a nice little book of affirmations to help one overcome one's enneagram compulsion. I know people who use it, and have even recorded the affirmations in their own voices to begin or to end their day. I like to go over it, however, this approach does not work for me personally. I highly reccommend it to anyone who listens to tapes, likes to repeat and has time for this. It's not for everyone, but for those who benefit from affirmations it will be a constant companion.
