To the memory of Andrea Szmyt who co taught the Enneagram with me for a number - photo 2

To the memory of Andrea Szmyt, who co taught the Enneagram with me for a number of years.
We had many journeys together exploring the Enneagram and its value in the world.

Introduction

People are fascinated by personality differences and personality typing systems. Why are you and I so different? What makes you tick? Who am I? Why is it so hard to change? Why am I attracted to a certain personality type, even when its such a challenge?

The Enneagram, a system that explains nine personality types, is such an accurate predictor of personality, motivation, and behaviors that people who discover it often feel they are having a psychic reading. Theyll ask, How can you know me so well? How can you figure me out and describe me so accurately? Why do you accept me, even with all my baggage? The answer is the Enneagram. Understanding and relating are so much easier when you understand someones motivations.

The Enneagram explains personality in a fun and understandable way. It also challenges you, as it hits on your strengths and weaknesses. It explains why you are attracted to certain people and experiences. It also explains why you hide parts of yourself and avoid certain other experiences. In this book, youll have an opportunity to explore yourself in depth.

As we highlight the unique qualities and psychological underpinnings of each of the Enneagrams nine personality types, youll also discover your own! Youll learn strategies for relating well to each personality style and also what actions to take to grow within and beyond your own type.

Youll explore how the types show up in everyday life, at work, and in all your relationships. Youll see how to heal past relationships and learn many new avenues for interacting with each typewhether friends, relatives, lovers, partners, or bosses. Welcome to the power of the Enneagram! Bon voyage!

Acknowledgments

I want to acknowledge my personal editor and co-writer, Karen Brees, who spruced up my writing in amazing ways. As I read her rewrites, her creative use of language constantly delighted me. We had a blast writing this book together and getting to know each other through daily e-mails.

I want to thank Paul Dinas, acquisitions editor, who answered innumerable questions regarding this project; and also Lynn Northrup, development editor, who did likewise. I wouldnt have written this book without my literary agent, Andrea Hurst, who asked if I were interested. I said yes, without a moments hesitation. Thank you.

I am very grateful to Melanie Joy, a dear friend who contributed many hours of support, encouragement, brainstorming, ideas, feedback, and discussion about the types. I want to thank Joy Hartwell for her insights; John OLeary, my Enneagram discussion partner and occasional co-teacher; Walter Ness, Annette Brubaker, Theo and Katja Swartz, Karin Stephan, Ken Jenkins, Cory McCarthy, Rick Charnes, Sheryl Lawrence, Lee Anne Klemyk, Erik Williams, Maureen McConnell, Evan Gorman, Evan Mulvaney, Loretta Betts, Betty and Maryjane Corgnati, Deb Harrison, Jane Laroque, Arnie Rosen, Matt Pallaver, and Donna Cognac for their ideas and interviews; and the many other students and friends I interviewed, who gave me ideas and well wishes.

Thanks to the countless clients, Enneagram students, and workshop attendees, over the last 16 plus years, who contributed greatly to my Enneagram knowledge, enjoyment, and growth. Ive loved every second and wouldnt have been able to write this book, without those experiences that enriched my life and my practice.

Helen Palmer and David Daniels, with whom I trained to become an Enneagram teacher, deserve special recognition. Their teacher training and subsequent workshops, along with Helens books, have provided guidance for me throughout the years.

Along those same lines, Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudsons training, workshops, and books have been extremely beneficial for both my personal and Enneagram growth. Riso, Hudson, Palmer, and Daniels have contributed immeasurably to developing psychological understanding of the types.

Thanks also to Ruth Duffy and Virginia Sampson, both spiritual directors and my first Enneagram teachers at Campion Renewal Center in Weston, Massachusetts; and Barbara Hastings, a student of Helen Palmer and one of my first Enneagram teachers.

Im indebted to all those throughout history who developed typing systems, particularly those related to the Enneagram. Among them, George Gurdgieff, Oscar Ichazo, and Claudio Naranjo, who developed much of the original ideas and early writing on the Enneagram.

And lastly, I want to thank my mother, Daisy Pearce, who has so deeply contributed to my life. Both Type 9s, we have had a fairly easy road together. She has been one of my Enneagram students! I also thank my father, David Pearce, my brother, Stephen Pearce, and my sister, Pamela Pearce.
