" The Enneagram is an extraordinary framework for understanding more about ourselves. No matter from which point of view we approach it, we discover fresh conjunctions of new and old ideas." So writes Don Riso in this expanded edition of
...(more) his classic interpretation of the Enneagram, the ancient psychological system used to understand the human personality. In addition to updating the descriptions of the nine personality types, Personality Types, Revised greatly expands the accompanying guidelines and, for the first time, uncovers the Core Dynamics, or Levels of Development, within each type. This skeletal system provides far more information about the inner tension and movements of the nine personalities than has previously been published. This increased specificity will allow therapists, social workers, personnel managers, students of the Enneagram, and general readers alike to use it with much greater precision as they unlock the secrets of self-understanding, and thus self-transformation.(less)

If you have any interest in the Enneagram, then read this book. It will give you more information on the types, wings, history, and pretty much everything else you need to know about this system. Riso and Hudson go into very great detail without becoming rote and pedantic, in fact the writing style is quite engaging and draws you in, and doe's not talk down to the you. It is written in plain English and avoids any kind of psychobabble, elevating the Enneagram from some “new age” fad to an entire (and workable) system of Psychology. This is a must own.
