Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 9

The goal of this book is to offer you a clear, concise, practical, and — above all — comprehensible overview of the world of the Enneagram. It should also encourage you to try the Enneagram for yourself. This is a book for you if you see your life as a journey on which you still have a lot to discover, experience, and learn. If that statement describes you, you might be interested in the answers to the following questions:

 What is the Enneagram?

 What can you do with the Enneagram?

 What is the “language” of the Enneagram?

 How do personality structures develop?

 What are the Enneagram personality types?

 How can I apply the Enneagram to my everyday life?

 Is there just one way to do the Enneagram?

 Does the Enneagram have a spiritual component?

I wrote this book for two reasons. First, the Enneagram has personally given me a lot — in fact, I have no trouble saying it has changed my life. I have fewer difficulties with my own, personal “stumbling blocks” and am finding increasing amounts of freedom in the decisions I make. One outcome for me was that I sold my share in my organizational consulting firm to dedicate myself fully to the Enneagram. I want everyone to have this decision-making freedom and inner peace.

The second reason is connected to the first. At the seminars, training sessions, and workshops that I hold on the topic of the Enneagram, participants often ask which book I can recommend as an introduction to the topic — a book that offers an easy way to start, a convenient overview of the possibilities out there, and exercises for further development. You’re holding this book in your hands.
