This audio series offers an incredible description of both the enneagram and the nine different survival types. I've read a lot on the subject and have not seen anything this comprehensive to date. Plus, being audio, makes a fantastic way to pass the time commuting, working, walking, whatever.

Better than the DSM IV? Yes! in its own way...maybe even better than Snickers. There's another kind of snicker we give each other and it's not so sweet...As Prufrock noted: "I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid." That's the feeling the "client" gets facing the great glass doors to the Kingdom of the Shrinks. (Maybe I'm paranoid? That's because "they're after me!") anyway

As we recall, it was Carl Jung's bright idea to refer the term "personality" back to the Greeks' use of great big wooden masks with built-in megaphones for their plays, enacted before audiences up to 20,000, in amphitheaters without electrified sound systems...Per-sona (sounding through) is the Latin term for getting jiggy wit it and playing out your part.

The Enneagram gives us the strength to stand up for our right to be greater than a diagnosis, and freer than a course of treatment...better than Ezra, we can walk back to the City of the Highest (ok) Power...and actually meet him/her/it, because this heavenly kingdom is within us.
