Procure Understanding The Enneagram: The Practical Guide To Personality Types Edited By Don Richard Riso Displayed In Manuscript

ilgi duyduğum için hakkında yazılan her şeyi okumaya çalışıyorum, Kitapta yazılan çoğu şeyi bilsem de bazı bölümlerde yeni şeylerle karşılaştım ve bu bölümleri çok sevdim.
İyi bir çalışmanın sonucu ortaya çıkmış bir kitap, daha çok Amerikan kültürüne uygun yazılmış olsa da ayıklandığında geriye kalacak güzel bilgiler var.
I use this as a reference book, I pick it up

from time to time and find it very helpful, This was an outstanding book on the personality types and does help one put others behavior into perspective, This book is aimed at people who are already familiar with enneagram, but the uninitiated can also benefit greatly from this, This book makes a compelling case for the use of the enneagram, there are many citations, which I found quite useful, because enneagram has connections to many traditions and topics in science, which i would like to explore.
My curiosity of the enneagram led me to pick this book up, I wish I could give half because this would be a four and one half, I think its strength lies in the disintegration of the personality types, I found the personality test a bit hard to understand, Interesting concept. I like it because it does not claim to be a 'labeler' of personalities, It looks at the strongest core traits and helps you understand how to perceive yourself and others and how to work with different traits.
I also like that it strongly discourages 'judgement' of others, Riso makes it clear that we all have some of each of the traits and that any of these can come out stronger under temporary circumstances such as extreme stress.
Because Understanding the Enneagram: The Practical Guide to Personality Types is set up more as a reference book I can continually pick it up to use and refresh my understanding of one of the types without hunting or rereading the entire book.
This is a keeper. I'm reading several Enneagram books at once right now, so my review may be giving some credit for another book to this one, but this is a great basic, but really solid overview of the system.
I have been so excited to see my interest in human behavior models converge with my spiritual beliefs, This system is very useful as a secular tool, but is even more powerful spiritually, It's applicable to many religious contexts, I'm looking forward to reading the book I have about the Christian Perspective, as well as Facets of Unity, So fascinating!! I've read several Enneagram books, I wouldn't say this one stands alone, but I do think that it explains the types in helpful ways not covered in other books.
I bought this particularly for the section which explains misidentifications, which is invaluable, I wish this book also explained the wings of each type that's my main disappointment with it, I really felt this book was a bit longwinded and the second half was just very 'text book' like, However, for someone STUDYING enneagrams, it's perfect, I was just trying to get an introduction to enneagrams, In which case, the first half of this book is great! Fascinating alternative way of looking at personalities, The ninecategory structure was refreshingly straightforward after Ive learnt about Jung via Meyers/Briggs and Strengths Finder, However, there are layers of detail and revelation to allf the methods that take time to absorb, I find that Ive learnt stuff from all of them,
I was prompted to look into the Enneagram by reading a writing blog by K M Weiland, She pointed out the way that the ninecategory structure helps when building convincing characters, Now Ive read the book I agree with this,
Its very helpful to identify which category applies to you as your strengths and weaknesses are revealed, Its also really interesting to be shown how your character might/would change if your mental health deteriorated or improved,
I think I must be a bit of a dabbler with these theories and methods of personality assessment, It all adds to my understanding of human behaviour, and its fun, too, This is the most comprehensive book I've read about Enneagram it discusses the Enneagram from a psychological perspective and integrates with DSM diagnostics.
It also looks at other types of Enneagram classification organizations triad, wings, Hornian, subtypes but doesn't cover them extensively, This is one of my Enneagram Bibles! I love it and have referred many friends to it, Such a good resource for those wanting to delve deeper into the Enneagram and how it works, The type misidentifications and practical tips for each type are outstanding, I wouldn't recommend this as the first people read on the Enneagram but it's a great next step after reading The Wisdom of the Enneagram.
Very interesting While I'm not new to profiling tools and coaching, I had to read this book several times to understand about personality based on this tool.
It was very interesting, and helped me to understand more about the people around me and the motivations, The earlier chapters on the Holy Idea, Holy Virtues etc where a little harder for me to grasp, but once we got to the later parts where he talked about the different centres of expression, that made alot of sense to me.
Once that was established, it was easier for me to head back to the earlier chapters to relink them, If one wants to understand the Enneagram more, one would probable need to keep the book close and reread it several times to allow the insights, and nuances of the tool to sink it.


Overall, I thought the book was very indepth and complete with regards to the Enneagram, A must read for everyone on the path for emotional growth and selfawareness, Other basic Enneagram books must be read before this one, The last of my RisoHudson enneagram books for now, This one had two new sections center scrambling and information on sorting out misidentified types, It also went into more detail around the spiritual aspects of Holy Idea, Holy Passion, and Virtues, It provided an interesting look into the early days of the enneagram and how it has evolved into the current system, A good Enneagram titlethe most useful part is the section called Misidentifications, It helps each type understand why they might think they are another type, The information is presented so the reader can easily tease out the differences, It is worth having this book just for this section, helpful for those struggling to determine type or wondering about misidentification, Found this one last year in sitelinkthis shop when I was in Dublin, Having highlighted about half of it with that light blue colored penciland of mine, it took me about a year to "finish", . . Reference book or no, I was really attracted to the way it expanded on some of the concepts first laid out in sitelinkPersonality Types.
I recommend reading that one first or maybe even sitelinkThe Complete Enneagram:Paths to Greater SelfKnowledge by Beatrice Chestnut for a different school of thought if you want to get into the Enneagram, and read this one for more models and, uh, experimental ways to use this tool for personal growth and helping others out.


The Enneagram is a valuable piece of sitelinksocial technology it's a tool that can help us understand others and ourselves that works.
We need to spread the word! Awesome! Loved the chapters on the Centers and the psychological categories, This was exactly what I was looking for some “What now” for after the reader knows his/her type, This book doesn't claim to be an introduction to the Enneagram but certainly provides an overview, A person new to the Enneagram may be lost by the sometimes technical language Riso utilizes,

All in all, the basics of the directions of integration, basic desires/fears, and particularly the recommendations towards the end of the book are helpful tools for understanding the self.


The final chapter on essence and selftranscendence, while primarily conceptual in nature, serve to highlight well the possible power of the Enneagram in helping us understand our spiritual growth.

Not Riso's best, When it comes to the Ennegram, don't be awith awing, Don't cut corners! Interesting further development of some of the more basic aspects of the Enneagram, This book often refers back to the book sitelinkPersonality Types: Using the Enneagram for SelfDiscovery by the same authors, So that book should be read first, Fascinating! But lots of information to take in, focused on the parts aboutjust like astrology, it's a love/hate thing One of my favorite introductions to the Enneagram, PERSONALITY TYPES, the first book by Don Richard Riso, has become the leading guide to the Enneagram, as well as a cherished classic in the literature of personal growth around the world.
This is the groundbreaking book that set the standard for insight and accuracy about this ancient symbol of human personality, UNDERSTANDING THE ENNEAGRAM soon followed and has since become another indispensable reseource, teaching readers not only how to understand this psychological framework in daily life but how to use it in many different settings.
Don Riso and Russ Hudson have now fully revised and updated this authoritative guide to the Enneagram, based on their continuing work in the field, which is attracting everincreasing attention.
Discover how to use the Enneagram to find fulfillment in your personal develpemnt and in all of your relationships, .
