The Secret of Enneagrams: Mapping the Personality

Element Books Ltd, Shaftesbury, Dorset, 1997. First Edition. Paperback. Fine Condition. Discusses how to use the enneagram to determine personality type and a deeper understanding of the self. As more and more people seek a deeper insight into themselves and their potential, Enneagrams become increasingly relevant to modern life. Based on an ancient system, with some commentators suggesting it was used by the Magi, it is a remarkably effective tool for assessing human personality. Working on the theory that there are nine essential Enneagram personality types, with each individual having only one, we can reveal our blueprint for looking at the world. Discovering one's type leads to a deeper understanding of the self, while learning how to recognize other people's types can foster better communication and more harmonious relationships in both the personal and professional sphere. Whereas most Enneagram books merely skim the surface, this exciting and fully-explained guide goes straight to the heart of the Enneagram tradition. Influenced by the approach of Gurdjieff, one of the foremost exponents of the Enneagram in modern times, Klausbernd Vollmar's book is essential reading for anyone searching for spiritual and emotional growth. Klausbernd Vollmar spent many years training to interpret the Enneagram in the tradition of Gurdjieff to become one of the system's foremost exponents. First Thus.
