Summary of helen palmer's the enneagram

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The Enneagram is an ancient Sufi teaching that describes nine different personality types and their interrelationships. It can help us recognize our own type and how to cope with our issues, understand our work associates, lovers, family, and friends, and appreciate the predisposition that each type has for higher human capacities.#2 The Enneagram of types is part of an oral teaching tradition, and the material is best transmitted by seeing and hearing groups of people of the same type speak about their lives. Within an hour, they begin to look the same, and you can sense the similarities in physical holding patterns, emotional tone, and the tension points in their faces.#3 The statements in this book are taken from the recorded voices of people who participated in a panel for their own type. They were willing to appear and self-disclose so that an audience could learn to recognize type in the oral way.#4 The Enneagram is a system that can be used to determine how each other type might interact with one another. It is not a fixed system, but a model of interconnecting lines that indicate a dynamic movement. Each type possesses a versatility of movement between points.
