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 CDs, DVDs and books.
