Review # 1 was written on 2009-10-15 00:00:00 Pairain Pascal If you want to hate yourself a lot, read this version of the enneagram. I know that the enneagram is different than other psychological tests because it focuses on what your faults rather than your strengths. I also know that this is a definitive book of enneagrams. However, I refuse to believe my base needs are out of anger, guilt, or lust or other's base needs are out of this way either. While some of it may ring true this book is phrased in such a way, such loathing of human beings and bathed in original sin that I can't recommend this book. Unless you want to hate yourself.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-02 00:00:00 Brian Blackman I've been studying this book for years, and it has been one of the most influential books in my life. The Enneagram is a psychological system that explains 9 personality types. As human beings, we all suffer, and this book explains how suffering is connected to type. However, we are more than our personality, so freedom from suffering is available. It has helped me to grow personally and develop more compassion for the people in my life. I've been to numerous workshops presented by the author, Helen Palmer.
