The Enneagram is a way of customizing what will help us develop. There’s so many things we could pay attention to in our mind, in our emotions, in our postures. But some things are going to be more useful. Some things are going to give us leverage for opening up possibilities. And that’s what Integral
As I sit here 50 some years later and I see all the things that have been added to the Enneagram, I’m glad for the excitement and I’m glad for the application of new insight. But is all this necessary or are we simply obfuscating a very healthy way of looking at human personality? Patrick
I had prior, as an Enneagram 8, which is the type I’m leading with, I had said: I don’t know, people that are afraid, I don’t know what that means. But that all came in as a perfect storm. And I learned the hard way how you don’t go towards change. I suddenly had no

I saw that all the Enneagram teachers, we were inviting students to learn about the Enneagram for personal growth. But I didn’t see much of it. Let’s say for a type eight, it’s pointing towards type two – try with a little humility and empathy that would help you. But the change is really difficult.
The Enneagram started my journey to befriend my heart. And I had no idea about any of that until I really approached the Enneagram, which I started just like a five, from a very cognitive place, interesting, trying to understand, trying to know. But then this became my journey. Befriending the heart. Interview with Dr.
