About this ebook
Richard Rohr and Andrea Ebert's runaway best-seller shows both the basic logic of the Enneagram and its harmony with the core truths of Christian thought from the time of the early Church forward.
Richard Rohr
Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. He is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fr. Richard's teaching is grounded in the Franciscan alternative orthodoxy—practices of contemplation and lived kenosis (self-emptying), expressing itself in radical compassion, particularly for the socially marginalized. Fr. Richard is the author of numerous books, including Everything Belongs, Adam’s Return, The Naked Now, Breathing Under Water, Falling Upward, Immortal Diamond, and Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi. Fr. Richard is academic Dean of the Living School for Action and Contemplation. Drawing upon Christianity's place within the Perennial Tradition, the mission of the Living School is to produce compassionate and powerfully learned individuals who will work for positive change in the world based on awareness of our common union with God and all beings.

Reviews for The Enneagram
42 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting read and I liked how they talked about particular experiences with people they knew and historical figures. The writing is a bit harder to read in spots, but there is gold in here.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There was some very good and interesting stuff, but I found the writing style clunky, so it was a bit of a slog. I also thought the writers made some very serious claims that they didn't back up with any references (for example, claims about certain types being vulnerable to suicide), which concerned me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful book that merges psychology and theology to provide a framework for the different schemas people have and explains that people don't all the view and interact with the world in the same way. The book helps to explain why certain people act the way they do, are motivated to do specific things, and why some people get along better than others. The entire theory is based around core sins/ virtues and what people need to do to become balanced and healthy. Having read a lot of psychology and theology, I really enjoyed the way this book was put together and the theory explained.
