Product Description
The Enneagram is a time-honoured way of understanding personality types and human behaviour. It is both ancient and modern. Developed over 1500 years ago by both Sufi and Christian mystics, it was overhauled in the 20th century by the disciplines and insights of Western psychology. It identifies nine types of personality, nine different ways of being, and is widely used today as a perceptive guide to self-understanding. In this original and enticing book, 'Enneagram' comes to life, speaking directly to us, as he unveils his insights in the form of letters to and from enquirers. These finely-drawn portraits of the nine faces of humanity will not only draw you into deeper self-understanding, but also guide you through the complex inner world of others.
