Here is one of the first books to explore in an authentic and comprehensive way the original spiritual context of the enneagram. Among the most knowledgeable and widely praised teachers of the enneagram in America, Sandra Maitri shows how the enneagram not only reveals our personalities, but can help reveal the basic essence within each of us. She shows how traversing the inner territory particular to our ennea-type can lead to profound fulfilment and meaning, as well as authentic spiritual development.
