Through expanded Enneagram teaching, poignant stories, challenging questions, and relevant best practices, Suzanne Stabile expertly guides us in the truth that life can be wildly complex, but that does not mean it needs to be complicated. I pried open every part of myself I could imagine – I questioned why I cry, when I cry, how I express anger and fear, what happens under deep stress, what happens when I hold space for joy, and more. True transformation comes with a melting away of the old, an inside-out job fueled by the Spirit, which involves more of letting go and less of grasping for control.

Using this beautiful Old Testament presentation of the gospel, Mark Belz woos us to be reconciled to God and man. In the story of Margot, we find not just a narrative but a universal lesson and a method to help anyone standing at life's crossroads. She begins with an illustrative story, how a particular type sees the world, the type’s response to stress, including the Enneagram type we move toward in stress, a key to healthy response, practices to try and the type we move toward in security. Suzanne’s book goes beyond stereotypes and memes to explore the inner architecture that creates type.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

First, it provides helpful, objective tools for determining type and for helping to prevent mistyping. It definitely gives a comprehensive view of how your number connects to other numbers in ways I didn't realize.

Holding things up in opposition and seeing them as wholly different entities, as if seeing separation was the only way to understand. Each of the six sessions in this companion study guide to Suzanne Stabile's book Journey Toward Wholeness includes the following: An overview of the session theme Discussion questions An opportunity to journey deeper into the session's theme Ideas for applying what we are learning between sessions Bonus content in this volume includes insights from people in each number space about how they are learning to bring up their repressed center (doing, thinking, or feeling). It does provide insight into how you can develop into your best self by knowing where you move to in stress and health. This book is best used by a group of Enneagram believers who want to really work at the job of improving their communication with each other, it requires a whole belief system in this process. I've always been confused about how I could be both thinking dominant and thinking repressed, but this book shed more light on that concept.If you want to be wholly healthy, you need to take the time to listen to what your mind, spirit and emotions are telling you through your body. Stabile explains that true wholeness involves developing a balanced relationship with the dominant characteristics of our Enneagram type, as well as embracing the qualities associated with other types.

The second section is about stances, which in my opinion, is Suzanne’s greatest contribution to Enneagram work and the place where I personally have found the greatest potential for growth and transformation. I recognized at a young age that when I expressed myself in ways that were seen as ‘different’ it wasn’t received well. Suzanne does a terrific job of capturing and communicating the distinctive thinking, feeling and doing patterns of each type. In these pages, you'll find language that will guide you through the lifelong process of becoming who you were made to be. She discusses the strengths and challenges associated with each type and encourages readers to recognize their own Enneagram type as a starting point for self-discovery.Our social conditioning runs so deep that even here, on a journey inward, I found myself operating with the same methods I always had. We’re conditioned to see these divisions early on, there is an emphasis on seeking differences rather than similarities which is reflective of the either/or mindset. And while it delivers on the first two promises, I look forward to future offerings that lead into even deeper transformation. This book is written with the assumption that readers already have a base knowledge of the enneagram, and that they probably know their enneagram number. Clearly, a lot of people have found this book helpful, but I found it difficult to follow, understand, and process, and I only found a couple of new insights after the trouble that I went to.
