I have read three of Wolinsky's books . Trances people live , Quantum Consciounes, and now this one . I think He should be so much more well known than he is. This guy is a Genius,and I don't use the word lightly. If you are seeking enlightenment don't go to India or take some expensive course just buy the book the secret is in their.

This book and its author are endorsed by some of the most vague, soft-on-the-science type of new-agers out there; I purchased it despite this because I was researching the enneagram of personality heavily at the time. This was a mistake. Wolinsky has nothing new to add to the enneagram, and his "chaos" approach to psychology has nothing to do with chaos science, which he readily admits he does't understand at all--he simply uses it as a marketing tool, one he has, incredibly, copyrighted. This looney book might serve as a useful introduction to the basic typological descriptions, but if you're already familiar with them, skip it. Unless, of course, you're one of the millions who finds foggy, feelgood psychobabble of the kind K. Wilber, D. Chopra, L. Dossey and the rest of their gang write appealing--this guy does the same, only with more qualifications and less originality.
