Develop self-compassion, deepen insight about relationships, and cultivate the ability to communicate with anyone.
You have every good intention of being kind to yourself, more toward loving others, and fearless about accomplishing your most meaningful goals. But if you’re anything like everyone, you find that you recreate certain obstacles over and over through:
What if there was a way to cultivate more compassion toward yourself, communicate more clearly with the important people in your life, and have on-the-spot insight into solving interpersonal problems?
I have discovered that there is indeed such a way and it is called the enneagram.
I have studied this system of 9 “types” for close to thirty years and I use it every single day to understand myself, communicate with students and colleagues, and deepen my closest relationships. It is rich, nuanced, and powerful beyond what I could ever describe. Over time, my experience as a student and teacher of Buddhism has flavored my understanding of the system and therefore I have my own particular way of presenting it.
I’m so grateful you are interested in The Buddhist Enneagram which goes into detail about it all.
