Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 8

For many years now, interest in the Enneagram has been growing exponentially worldwide. Maybe you've already heard of it at work, at a seminar, or from friends or relatives. The Enneagram as it is described in this book is about 20 to 30 years old, is a popular and recognized method of gaining insight into your personality, and has become an increasingly common tool across a broad spectrum of professions.

The Enneagram became popular because many people felt a need for a greater sense of self-awareness as well as a desire for increased personal development. They also wanted to better understand the people around them — their partners, children, parents, bosses, colleagues, and others. Why do people do what they do? Why is it that certain people clash so severely? The Enneagram reveals the answer. The Enneagram is a compassionate method that enables people to gain not only greater insight but also a better understanding of each other and of why things happen the way they do. The Enneagram helps people build bridges between themselves and the other people in their world.
