This perennial bestseller is essential reading for anyone interested in the Enneagram. It is the classic book on the Enneagram based on the Narrative Tradition and Helen's deep, intuitive understanding of the types. Each type is described systematically and concisely, including the higher qualities, intuitive style, what helps the type thrive, what it needs to be aware and illuminating vignettes.

The book is divided into two main parts. The first 70 or so pages are dedicated to an overview of the Enneagram system, both from historical perspectives, as well as in terms of practical application. The remainder (and majority) of the book's 400-odd pages provides a well organized wealth of information on each of the nine Enneagram personality types. Because each of these nine chapters are laid out in a standard "template" format, expect some minor duplication from chapter to chapter.
