How To Work With
Your Personality Style
To Truly Grow & Change
By Thomas Condon
ISBN: 1-55552-101-0
Discover new ways to:
Deeply understand yourself and others
Apply new tools for personal change
Identify the gifts and talents of
your Enneagram style
Alter negative self-images and limited
beliefs
Resolve conflicts and improve communication
Use the Enneagram for spiritual growth
See Enneagram styles more clearly
in daily life
Effectively handle difficult people
From a celebrated Enneagram teacher, the first
book of its kind. Presenting his fresh and practical approach
to the Enneagram, Tom Condon shows you how to explicitly use
the system as a tool for personal growth, change and fulfillment.
The Dynamic Enneagram goes beyond simply providing insight
into the Enneagram's nine personality styles. Tom brings 25 years
of experience in workshops around the world to show you how you
can apply that insight to maximize your strengths, temper your
weaknesses and fulfill your true potential.
The Dynamic Enneagram takes the Enneagram many new steps
further as a practical guide to growth and change. Thomas Condon
has selected techniques from many different psychotherapies-especially
NLP & Ericksonian Hypnosis and Brief Therapy - and adapted
their techniques to the needs and dilemmas of each Enneagram
personality style. The result is a "tool-set" for personal
change - useful practices and ideas that you can adopt to transcend
limits, resolve conflicts and improve relationships.
Newcomers will appreciate The Dynamic Enneagram's
vivid descriptions, informal style, and everyday "real world"
examples. Those familiar with the Enneagram will enjoy a fresh
perspective on the system, one that emphasizes choice and possibility.
Those with therapeutic or "people-helping" backgrounds
will find a wide range of new techniques to promote rapid, enduring
change in their clients.
Professionals of all kinds will find principles
and ideas that can be adapted to their specialized needs. Therapists
and people-helpers will acquire skills for rapid, deep diagnosis
plus "skeleton key" techniques that work successfully
with core Enneagram dilemmas.
The foreword by Hillel Zeitlin, MSW, Director
of the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Maryland, underscores
The Dynamic Enneagram's benefits for therapists, people-helpers
as well as motivated seekers of personal change.
The Dynamic Enneagram contains powerful tools for making changes, solving
problems, and enhancing the gifts of each personality style.
It will appeal to anyone wanting new horizons in their personal
and professional growth.
The Dynamic Enneagram is packed with powerful yet simple techniques that
anyone can use to overcome limits, improve relationships, and
master times of challenge and change. Using humor, teaching stories
and real-life examples, Tom reveals the life scripts that bind
each of us and identifies how anyone can optimize her or his
own life story.
Tom's material has been widely field-tested in hundreds of workshops
in the U.S. and Europe. It has proven very popular with self-help
audiences, psychologists, business people, and anyone else for
whom personal growth and professional communication are important.

About
The Enneagram
The subject of several recent best-selling
books, the Enneagram is a powerful overview of human psychological
types. The Enneagram is about people - how we are the same, how
we are different, what makes us tick. It presents an organized
system that describes the nine core personality styles that human
beings tend to favor. The Enneagram's description of these styles
is profound, comprehensive and penetrating. Newcomers to the
system are often stunned to discover uncannily accurate portraits
of themselves, their friends, coworkers, parents and intimates.
The Enneagram is on a fast and steady-rising
arc of popularity. 1994's First International Enneagram Conference
at Stanford University attracted 1400 people. 1997's Conference
at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland was similarly well-attended.
Helen Palmer's The Enneagram In Love and Work was on the New
York Times Bestseller list. Her recent business book, The Enneagram
Advantage, has spent several weeks on the San Francisco Bay Area
Bestseller list.
The popular media has showcased the Enneagram
with articles in Newsweek, Mademoiselle, Esquire, Psychology
Today, Teen, Selling, and dozens of newspapers. The Enneagram
has been featured in a new Time-Life series on psychology and
figured significantly in Tony Schwartz's recent book, What
Really Matters. Upcoming magazine articles are slated for
Cosmopolitan, Common Boundary and Self. The two
earliest books on the Enneagram, published in 1987 and 1988,
continue to sell steadily and well.
While there are well over a million books
already sold on the Enneagram but they are primarily about diagnosis.
There is a dearth of solid material about what to do after you
have identified your personality style. With the subject well
established by the best-selling works of Helen Palmer and Don
Richard Riso, the next big area of interest is in the Enneagram's
applications, especially as a tool for personal evolution.
Thomas Condon has worked with the Enneagram
since 1980. He has taught classes at Antioch University, and
the University of California, Berkeley, as well as hundreds of
workshops in the U.S. and Europe. He is the author of 50 audiotapes
and two books.
