I finished this book the day before #9 but forgot all about finishing it. This is a precious book that does a very good job of summarizing what Enneagram of personality is all about. Don Richard Riso is a former Jesuit, and he talks about transformation, something that most Enneagram teachers ignore, and I find quite discouraging. Most just tell you all the things that are wrong with your personality without any suggested practices that will help you become free of your false identity. This is a practical book that explains each of the types and then gives RELEASES of the unhealthy parts of that personality and affirmations that promote health. I have given these to one of my directees, and she found it very helpful.

One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).
