The New Edition of The Buddhist Enneagram

Hello Wonderful Open Heart Project,

Today I wanted to let you know that my book, The Buddhist Enneagram, has just been released in a new edition by Shambhala Publications.

The book explores how the wisdom of Buddhism and the Enneagram can illuminate each other. Together, these two systems offer a powerful way to understand how we move through the world, how our attention organizes experience, and how we can deepen our relationships with ourselves and others.

In its pages, I explore the nine Enneagram types through a Buddhist lens and share reflections, teachings, and practices drawn from nearly three decades of studying both traditions side by side. The goal is not simply to describe personality patterns, but to offer a path of genuine self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Whether you are new to the Enneagram or have been studying it for years, my hope is that this book helps you see yourself more clearly and connect more deeply with the people in your life.

If you’d like to learn more or pick up a copy of the new edition, you can find it here.

Thank you, as always, for being part of this community. We’ll get back to the Noble Eightfold Path series next week (picking back up at Right Effort).

Warmly,
Susan

P.S. There’s a new episode (47) of Buddhism Beyond Belief that goes into more detail about the book available wherever you enjoy podcasts.
