Product Description
From Amazon
Recommended by two highly credible authorities, consciousness explorer Ken Wilber and spiritual-growth guru Harville Hendrix, this compendium of Enneagram information was assembled by the cofounders of the Enneagram Institute as an introduction to the subject. Designed with a plenitude of charts, boxes, and quotes (by noted illuminaries such as A.H. Almaas, Maya Angelou, and G.I. Gurjieff), this exceptionally easy-to-use, manual-size paperback teaches the reader how to figure out which of the nine types she is, identifies red flags to self-illusion, and provides practical suggestions for spiritual growth. Advice on how to observe your type's fixations and let go of the need to act out automatic and dysfunctional behavioral responses are down-to-earth and attainable. A distinctly accessible approach to cultivating daily happiness through understanding the complexity of fixations that weave together human personality types. --Randall Cohan
Review
"The Wisdom of the Enneagram is a very important book. By combining the horizontal types of the Enneagram with a system of vertical levels of awareness, Riso and Hudson have produced one of the first truly integrated models of the human psyche. In addition to the importance of this pioneering work itself, it goes to point up the utter inadequacy of anything less than a full-spectrum model of human growth and development. Highly recommended."
--Ken Wilber, author of The Marriage of Sense and Soul
"I highly recommend this book, not only to anyone on the path of personal transformation, but to anyone who wants to understand the complex inner world of others, whether a spouse, family member co-worker or friend. The questionnaires were fun and illuminating. I received some very helpful information about myself, felt challenged to grow and experienced a deepening of compassion. Perhaps the most profound contribution of The Wisdom of the Enneagram is reflected in the word "Wisdom." The authors clearly communicate the complexity of human nature, the spiritual yearning resonant in all of us, and the ascending levels of our possibility. But they do not leave us there. They offer a clear path for personal and spiritual evolution."
--Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of Getting the Love You Want
"Don Riso and Russ Hudson thoughtfully engage the richness and depth of the Enneagram, and conjure with its power as a tool of transformation. The Wisdom of the Enneagram is filled with its own wisdom and depth. You'll find yourself returning to it over and over again and discovering new treasures."
--Tony Schwartz, author of What Really Matters
"The Wisdom of the Enneagram is not only a clear and comprehensive description and discussion of this ancient personality typology, but also a major and original contribution to its use and further development. Don Riso and Russ Hudson have designed simple practical guidelines and tests that make it possible to determine one's own personality type and use this knowledge for healing and psychospiritual transformation."

This book has profound wisdom,
By
This review is from: The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types (Paperback)
This book is greatly helpful for most people except those who are caught up with religious doctrines without being able to understand the spiritual message behind the doctrines.This book focuses on sanctification (transformation), it provides a road map to help us transform spiritually into loving individuals. Love and compassion comes from spiritual maturity instead of power of our will. Therefore, the wisdom from this book is consistent with any religion that promotes love. On the other hand, for those who are caught up with justification doctrines, this book will not be appealing. Justification for the well being of ourselves works against the spiritual path towards being a loving person. Therefore, at the onset, anyone who is entrenched in the justification mentality would likely believe this book portrays a path away from justification. This book points out some important aspect of the reality of our existence. It is most useful for those who are (1) out of balance spiritually, or (2) are interested in rediscovering the rich experience of life. The intention of the authors is to help readers to deepen their spirituality through expanding awareness. When spirituality deepens, we become more connected with others. This is the unpreached message because it happens automatically. When understood properly, this book provides a roadmap towards enlightenment. Make sure you read the intro chapters because they well explain how the types are personalities that we should NOT identify with. Also, this book is a resource book more than a quick read, to master the stuff outlined in there could take a life time. The best reading approach is to read slowly from the beginning and stop when we feel like we've chewed off just a little too much for our daily practice. It's so true when the authors say we identify with our personality in order to get a sense of our identity, but doing so disconnects us from our true Essence because personality is simply a set of habits developed as coping mechanisms. At this price, I've bought 2 copies beyond my own to give to two of my friends already. I'll be getting more. When this book is truly lived out, I suspect life would be full of awe like the time when we were a child again, except now we have an adult mind. It could be a bliss, but obviously it's just my projection, I'm no where close. This book has helped me out of depression (symptom of a dysfunctional 4)and compulsive thinking (symptom of a dysfunctional 5) already. Hope others might find useful insight as well. This is the best Enneagram book I've come across so far.

This book changed my life...really,
By Crimsonvalkyrie (Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types (Paperback)
I have been looking for insight into my life (I'm a type four go fig) for what seems like an eternity. This book shined a giant flashlight of truth right in my eyes and to this day refuses to take it away. It even pegged everyone in my family down to our manipulations and quirks. Not Astrology, hell this book blows astrology out of the water! Get and it WILL change your life.

Un livre complet,
By Matt (Québec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types (Paperback)
Riso et Hudson, en plus d'expliquer clairement et de manière précise les différentes caractéristiques de chacun des types, amènent des nuances très intéressantes et nous permettent d'étudier et de comprendre les divers niveaux de "santé" relié aux types (i.e. niveaux de développement). Puis, les auteurs ouvrent la porte au développement personnel. En bref, le livre le plus complet qui m'a été donné de lire jusqu'à présent sur l'ennéagramme.
