Title: Not the Best Resource for a Wonderful Tool for Growth
Product review: The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding oneself and others. Where the authors stick to the classic system they do a good job in explaining the types, the issues, and paths for growth. However, where they felt the need to have a "breakthrough" to market their approach as new and improved, they actually do violence to the system and reduce its usefulness. Their diagnosis of each of the types as problems with doing, thinking or feeling and the resultant prescriptions for growth, hold up for some types but not others. They then lose all of the helpfulness of the movement toward integration and disintegration between enneagram types. I've read many books on the enneagram and found this the least helpful.
