Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Riso, a prominent teacher of enneagram--a system of nine personality types derived from esoteric tradition and recently gaining in popularity--combines enneagram personality types with recovery movement techniques of releasing undesirable traits and affirming desirable ones. For those unfamiliar with enneagram, he provides a brief introduction plus references to his three previous books, Personality Types (Houghton, 1987. o.p.), Understanding the Enneagram (Houghton, 1990), and Discovering Your Personality Type (Houghton, 1992). Most of his new book is a series of 16 single-sentence releases and nine affirmations for each type, plus 25 general affirmations for everyone. For people in recovery who know their enneagram number, these statements may provide useful reminders of one's own best and worst tendencies. Recommended for public libraries with self-help collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enneagram Based Self-Help in 25 Sentences?, Jan 28 2003
By Peter Messerschmidt "denmarkguy" (Port Townsend, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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."

4.0 out of 5 stars A good guide to your own internal dialog, Mar 22 2002
By A Customer
I've had this book for years and have found it very useful. I'm not generally fond of the 'self-affirmations' approach to self help. But, the affirmations suggested here are truly on-target for your own enneagram type. A nice bedside table book. Read one page and you will take with you deep thoughts for a day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the purchase unless you really ejoy affirmations, Jan 5 2002
By "lefty_liberal" (Kansas United States) - See all my reviews
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.
