I love reading and learning, and I enjoy sharing my thoughts about the books, movies and music in my life; and I tend to be fairly honest-- although I'll probably NOT be reviewing any of the books I thought were garbage as I'd rather put positive energy out there.

I've noticed the reviews here-- editorial and otherwise-- have expressed rather mixed opinions about this book. And, in a sense, the book's subtitle ("The mixed blessings of extraordinary potential") serves to underscore the somewhat mixed blessings of the book, itself.

Although still regarded as a "soft science," Graphology is now used extensively in courts, in the crimal justice system, by therapists and by employers. Graphotherapy takes a… Read more

Sandra Maitri's "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is, without doubt, the most insightful and meaningful book on the enneagram I have read. However, I must also agree with Ms. Maitri's own comments elsewhere on this page and caution potential readers that this is not a "beach read" and is best suited as reading for those who are seriously ready-- and honestly ABLE-- to take a deeper look at their own psycho-spiritual essence and soul. This is not a pop-psychology "personality typing" book, but rather a valuable guide for people-- "seekers"-- on their journey of self-discovery, transformation and self-realization. Yes, the book DOES touch on… Read more
