But we can also use the enneagram to understand our relationships with other people and to discover why different types are attracted to different transformational paths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a reporter for the \u003ci\u003eThe Enneagram Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, I've written many articles on the enneagram. From the beginning, I've focused on the assets of the nine types rather than their liabilities--a focus that powerfully informs my first two books, \u003ci\u003eThe Positive Enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eArchetypes of the Enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I was attracted to Ken Wilber's Integral Operating System (IOS) because it also emphasizes the positive role played by ego\/personality development in transformational work. Wilber has been developing his ideas for 40 years and has published more than 25 books on transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more I studied IOS and the enneagram, the more I realized the incredible potential each has to inform the other. After writing articles on the two systems for five years, I knew there was enough material for a book--and \u003ci\u003eThe Integral Enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is has three parts: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e provides a brief but easy-to-follow description of both systems (the enneagram and IOS). It also introduces the unifying theme of the book: that each of us has a unique calling or \u003ci\u003edharma\u003c\/i\u003e in life, a calling that is partially revealed by our enneagram type. To discover the \u003ci\u003edharma\u003c\/i\u003e is to find the path that transforms us through service to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II \u003c\/b\u003edescribes two ways of working with the enneagram. The \u003ci\u003e personality enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the nine personality points of view, each of which represents a unique approach to living. The \u003ci\u003eprocess enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e portrays the same nine enneagram points as nine stages in a transformational process. The two can be interwoven to create an Integral Enneagram model that can help us see why different kinds of people are attracted to different transformational paths and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III\u003c\/b\u003e integrates the Integral Enneagram model with Wilber's Integral Operating System, to the mutual enhancement of both. It especially highlights the value of a more feminine, embodied approach to transformation, the importance of process (not just progress) in inner work, and how to develop our consciousness in a way that sparks our creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Integral Enneagram\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique book with an approach not presented elsewhere--an approach that not only supports our individual development but our ability to use whatever we develop to come into union with the greater purposes of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Rhodes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0982479220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982479223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Geranium Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.52w x 0.75d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susan Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986769281279,"sku":"9780982479223","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1c000bd-bd8e-41b2-8b48-e3658a9acb3d.jpg?v=1683285085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-integral-enneagram-susan-rhodes-9780982479223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
