Episode 94: Enneagram

This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about the Enneagram — a personal wisdom tool that has been transforming lives and relationships for thousands of years. The Enneagram is generally thought of as a personality typing system, and it does sort people into 9 primary types, but it's different from other personality typing systems in a variety of important ways. The central aim of the Enneagram is to help people understand their own and others' deepest motivations. It helps us develop our central strengths while working around our most challenging and potentially self-destructive tendencies. One thing we both like about the Enneagram is that it is an incredibly rich body of knowledge, one that you can use to keep learning about yourself and others for the rest of your life. So in this episode, we share an overview of our experiences with the Enneagram, and how we’ve benefited from it. We offer some very basic information about the nature and origins of the system, and how it helps people evolve toward their highest and healthiest potential. Finally, we offer you some experiments to help you discover more about your own Enneagram Type and put its wisdom to work in your own life.   Get full show notes and resources at http://livingexperiment.com/enneagram/
