“Combines enneagram personality types with recovery movement techniques of releasing undesirable traits and affirming desirable ones.” —Library JournalTo heal, one must truly know, and face, one’s self. But finding that inner, honest analysis of our own personalities is difficult to say the least. Without the right tools, it can be impossible. Since its development, the enneagram—a model of nine interconnected personality types that allows users to identify their habits and flaws—has helped countless individuals understand their hearts, bodies, and minds. Now, it can also help you change your life. In Enneagram Transformations, Don Richard Riso, one of the foremost developers of the enneagram, presents a groundbreaking contribution to the self-help field. Using releases and affirmations based on the various personalities, he shows readers how to unlock their psychological pains and strengths to promote healing, recovery, and tranquility. It’s time to reclaim your power. Enneagram Transformations contains the meditative tools you need to do so.Editorial ReviewsFrom Library JournalRiso, a prominent teacher of enneagram–a system of nine personality types derived from esoteric tradition and recently gaining in popularity–combines enneagram personality types with recovery movement techniques of releasing undesirable traits and affirming desirable ones. For those unfamiliar with enneagram, he provides a brief introduction plus references to his three previous books, Personality Types (Houghton, 1987. o.p.), Understanding the Enneagram (Houghton, 1990), and Discovering Your Personality Type (Houghton, 1992). Most of his new book is a series of 16 single-sentence releases and nine affirmations for each type, plus 25 general affirmations for everyone. For people in recovery who know their enneagram number, these statements may provide useful reminders of one’s own best and worst tendencies.
