What it is:
At first glance, the Enneagram can seem like a shallow gallery of character types. But it is a highly sophisticated psychological system offering deep insights into human character and motivation. As such, mastering the Enneagram takes time and practice.

The premise of Thomas Condon's Enneagram Movie & Video Guide is that the Enneagram's nine personality styles are highly visible in certain movies and you can learn about them enjoyably. Since the publication of the Guide in 1994, an increasing number of Enneagram students have found this an exceptionally useful way to study personality styles.

The Changeworks has made special arrangements with Reel.com, "the planet's biggest movie store." Reel.com is the only Web site providing electronic rental of movies. It has 85,000 movies for sale - 10 times as large a selection as a typical video superstore - and 35,000 movies for rent.

While typical video stores focus on new-to-video releases and mainstream movies, Reel.com has everything: foreign, cult, rare, classic, offbeat, independent movies, new-to-video releases, mainstream movies and documentaries.

This is an especially valuable resource for students of the Enneagram. Many of the most vivid examples of Enneagram styles are in hard-to-find independent films that aren't well distributed. With their huge selection, Reel.com will invariably have films on your Enneagram list.

The Enneagram Movie & Video Store offers a selection of hundreds of the best movies illustrating Enneagram styles.These are taken from The Enneagram Movie & Video Guide plus those currently reviewed in our Now Showing section. Thomas Condon has also added dozens of his favorite "sleepers," films he thought were too obscure to list but that beautifully illustrate Enneagram styles.

Rentals from Reel.com are a great way to watch movies that aren't normally available in your local video store. Rental by mail also offers greater convenience and flexibility. You can rent films online with the click of a mouse and have them delivered to your door. The check-out period is 7 days so you have maximum flexibility for your busy schedule. You also have enough time to watch films again for closer study and scrutiny.

This service is exceptionally useful if you teach the Enneagram, are a member of a study group or have friends who are also studying the Enneagram, with whom you can share films and expense.

Reel.com's video rental service is only available in the USA. But US and international residents can both buy used movies. Most are very low priced - up to 80% off - and guaranteed. Reel.com also has videos in many alternative formats, including European PAL, DVD and laserdisc.

Shopping online with Reel.com is safe and easy. They encrypt your credit card number and all other personal information, so that it is unreadable in transit over the Internet. The security of this information is top priority. Despite dire predictions, abuses are exceedingly rare and entering your credit card number on an encrypted website site is much safer than using it at a retail store or restaurant.

How it Works
7-Day Rental Period
You get to keep the movie for 7 days before you send it back to Reel.com.

Low Prices
Renting between 1 and 4 movies costs $4.50 per movie, not including shipping. Renting 5 and more movies costs $3.50 per movie, not including shipping. If you, for instance, rent 5 movies for a week, the shipping costs $12.70, and the rental price is $17.50 (@ $3.50 per movie). Your total is $30.20, or $6.04 each for a week. Given the 7-day rental period, this breaks down to $0.86 per movie per day.

Late Rental Fees
Late fees are $0.65 per movie for each day a movie is late. Reel.com stops charging you for late fees on the date on which your return package is postmarked, so you do not need to worry about the post office being slow. If your order arrives to you late, or you know you will be returning it late for any reason, just drop them a line at late@reel.com and let them know.

Rentals are for 7 days
Rent 1 to 4 movies for $4.50/movie, not including shipping.
Rent 5 or more movies for $3.50/movie, not including shipping.
