Personality Portraits The Enneagram Encountered

Personality Portraits – The Enneagram Encountered (colour interior version)

"Truly transformational... Two of the key things that this book gives its readers are: self-acceptance and self-awareness... a powerful opportunity for growth, learning and expansion." Sasha Allenby, CEO of Wisdompreneurs Publishing.

"This lovely little book is a gem! Not only does it give a clear, engaging outline of the Enneagram that anyone can read and understand, it also supplies helpful exercises to enable the reader to overcome obstacles and challenges."

Pamela Bruner, Business Coach and EFT Expert, Co-author with Jack Canfield.

Anyone who has ever asked themselves "Why on earth do I do that?" will find answers in this book as we explore the rich wisdom of the Enneagram, an ancient tool for self-discovery. But more than that, it answers the "So what?" question too. Not only does this book unravel the core, subconscious drivers of personality and behaviour, they also invite the reader to do something about it using simple, accessible coaching exercises suited to meet the needs of each type specifically, but useful for all.

The Enneagram Encountered is an 'easy read' book, visually attractive, designed to dip into but with an unexpected depth, which hooks by pure fascination. This book may know us better than we know ourselves: it is an uncanny and intriguing experience. The Enneagram Encountered feeds our natural human curiosity to discover why we do the things we do: questions cascade as more and more answers are given.

Those who are striving, from professional and personal perspectives to improve the quality of their lives, their work, their relationships, have a profound need to first understand themselves. This book meets the needs of those without psychology backgrounds and with limited time for research. It enables them to explore their motivations and to learn to work on their strengths, encouraging the same in others.

“The way The Enneagram Encountered is written has helped me look at what I want out of life and discover myself in a way I had never thought about before... It is an amazing and powerful tool.” Sarah, designer

Those with psychology backgrounds give The Enneagram Encountered equally enthusiastic feedback - the material within enriches even their understanding. This book offers huge benefit to those involved in developing people.

"Whether you are a newcomer to the Enneagram or an expert, this book will give you great information and inspiration for using this powerful tool for yourself and others."Pamela Bruner

Managers, Human Resources, those in caring professions, students and leaders in education or social work, parents and families are finding this book transformational, empowering younger readers, teenagers in particular.

"...Then there are the books that are truly transformational... to take the reader beyond where they can go themselves... shake up the way the reader sees the world... This book does exactly that."
Sasha Allenby

"This book enables the readers to take what they have learned out into their lives, bringing the theories and concepts alive."
Sasha Allenby

Families and working teams find this book revelatory as they finally understand the dynamics and challenges which they have experienced many times but have been unable to explain or overcome.
