The Wisdom Of The Enneagram: The Complete Guide To Psychological And Spiritual Growth
Amazon Links:
- Amazon link: Paperback
Recommended by Catherine Mulvihill of My Happy Insides
Catherine mentioned, not this book in particular, but the concept of the Enneagram and how she’s used it to understand herself, her partner, and others she works with.
There are a number of other books on Amazon on the Enneagram topic which you will probably see when you follow the Amazon link. There is also a Enneagram Institute created in 1997 by the authors Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. There are also Enneagram tests online that you can take for free to determine your type.
Models like this help to understand one’s self as well as others. Where there is understanding, there is better communication, better relationships, better lives. This is one of many models; the ones we have experienced have all proven helpful.
From Amazon’s description:
The first definitive guide to using the wisdom of the enneagram for spiritual and psychological growth
The ancient symbol of the Enneagram has become one of today’s most popular systems for self-understanding, based on nine distinct personality types. Now, two of the world’s foremost Enneagram authorities introduce a powerful new way to use the Enneagram as a tool for personal transformation and development. Whatever your spiritual background, the Enneagram shows how you can overcome your inner barriers, realize your unique gifts and strengths, and discover your deepest direction in life.
The Wisdom of the Enneagram includes:
Two highly accurate questionnaires for determining your type
Vivid individual profiles focused on maximizing each type’s potential and minimizing predictable pitfalls
Spiritual Jump Starts, Wake-Up Calls, and Red Flags for each type
Dozens of individualized exercises and practical strategies for letting go of troublesome habits, improving relationships, and increasing inner freedom
Revealing insights into the deepest motivations, fears, and desires of each type
Highly accessible, yet filled with sophisticated concepts and techniques found nowhere else, The Wisdom of the Enneagram is a strikingly new fusion of psychology and spirituality. It offers an exciting vision of human possibility and a clear map of the nine paths to our highest self-expression.

Filled with fresh,new insights about how to attract true wealth, Money Magnetism goes far beyond the scope ofother books each of the principles discussed can not only be used for wealth building, but alsohelps readers attract whatever they need in life, when they need it.
This book was recommended to me by a psychologist in the late 80’s, and was very helpful.
This is a book I consider to be “required reading” in the classroom of life.
The title comes from a poem by Robert Frost – see later in the post.
Also see “The Road Less Traveled And Beyond.”
Frankly, it’s been so long since I read it that I don’t remember much of the details. Here are some of the notes I wrote in my copy:
Four Tools of Discipline
- Dedication to the truth (out of denial)
- Accepting Responsibility for whole of life, for my anxiety, depression, what is happening in my life. I may be responsible to someone else, but not for someone, with the exception of a small child I may be caring for.
- Delaying gratification. Pain is a professor, you must be willing to learn from your pain.
- Balancing – Wisdom – Be straight with others. Tell them when they need to be told. If it hurts them instead of helping, don’t tell them.
Underlined:
- All self-discipline might be defined as teaching ourselves to do the unnatural
- I define love thus: the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.
- Love is an act of will – namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.
- If an act is not one of work or courage, it is not an act of love. There are no exceptions.
And many other underlinings.
Get this book. Study it. But beware, it may lead you down the road less traveled, the one of profound spiritual growth similar to what I’ve been on.
