Title: A Bit Disappointing
Product review: Despite high hopes for this book I found it a bit disappointing. The author uses a subjective, anecdotal approach to describing the different types (e.g., "Females Fours usually have great boots.") as opposed to an objective description of the principles underlying each number. Also, apparently most of his contacts from which he draws his anecdotal descriptions are women (for instance, the section on Childhood Setting for Twos has very little male gender or gender neutral info - it is overwhelmingly geared to females, as most of the book seems to be). An emphasis on the negative aspects of each type while excluding the positive aspects makes for a bit of a depressing read. Some interesting ideas but not enough for me to enthusiastically recommend the book. For those interested in this subject, I'd recommend "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Riso and Hudson - they actually accomplish what this author set out to do.
