Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 38

I use inner work as a term for the work involved in personal development. It's not hocus-pocus; it's just plain work, but it's work done on the inside. Anyone can learn how to do inner work, but, as with anything you want to learn, it doesn’t happen on its own.

People are dealing with increasing demands at work regarding their personal and professional functioning. You’ll discover that this inner work is also indispensable, even when it comes to professional development. It helps you face your limitations and overcome them and teaches you how you can better use your innate qualities. Wanting to develop yourself or certain aspects of yourself requires time and effort — but above all, your attention.

Stick with this development for a while because inner work can

 Offer you fun in addition to depth, meaning, and inspiration

 Provide you with surprising benefits that can be of great significance to you

 Make you a happier person

That last reason is why I continue to use the Enneagram.
