Thank you to the Enneagram
teachers who have mentored
us and generously shared their
wisdom with us, and to the
courageous souls who attend
our workshops and then do
the work that brings harmony
to their lives and this world.
This book is our response to
the question, I know my
number. What do I do now?

WhenIfirst learned theEnneagram
from Father Robert Ochs, SJ, while studying
theology in the early 's, there was nothing
written about the Enneagram. We only had
mimeographed handouts. When I did my dis -
sertation research in psychology on the En -
neagram, there was still nothing written about
it. Because it was passed on through oral tra -
dition, I suggested to my dissertation com -
mittee that I list phone numbers in place of a
bibliography. Surprisingly, they failed to see the
humor in that suggestion. Now, in , there
are a plethora of Enneagram books and re -
sources available in the market and through the
internet. Apparently, there have been no
thoughts about the Enneagram that have not
been transcribed or recorded.
And so you ask: Do we really need another
Enneagram book on our bookshelves? And I
would answer, Yesthis one! It adds material
and insights that other books don't have. Is the
Enneagram a fossilized framework etched in
stone to be passed on dogmatically as is? Or is
it a living system that can grow and develop
with additional accretions and insights? I think
the latter is the case.
For example, in my early courses on the En -
neagram, we didn't consider the Harmony
Triads. While not unique to this book, these
thoughtful connections are elaborated and
vividly presented here. Combined with the
three centersphysical or gut (GQ), emotional
(EQ), and intellectual (IQ)the Harmony
Triads are quite useful additions for under -
standing our own style, favored center, and
connection to styles in other centers. It's a very
h e l p f u l i n t e g r a t i v e a p p r o a c h .
Also, people ask: Now that I know my type,
what do I do with it (or myself)? After reading
Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram , you will
