The wisdom of the enneagram

The Wisdom of the Enneagram walks through all nine Enneagram personality types in depth, describing each one's healthy, average, and unhealthy expressions along a "levels of development" framework developed by the authors. Rather than treating the Enneagram as a fixed label, Riso and Hudson present it as a map of how a personality can grow toward integration or decline toward its worst patterns.

The book combines psychological description with practical exercises meant to help readers recognize their own type and use that self-knowledge as a tool for personal and spiritual growth.
