Don Richard Riso, M.A., was one of the foremost teachers and developers of the Enneagram in the world. Many of you know he recently passed away. Now seems to be a good time to replay our interview of March, 2010. In this interview, we talked about why people would want to know about the Enneagram. Don was co-founder of The Enneagram Institute, and a Founding Director of the International Enneagram Association. He taught the Enneagram worldwide for over 30 years. His five best-selling books, The Wisdom of the Enneagram, Personality Types, Understanding the Enneagram, Discovering Your Personality Type, and Enneagram Transformations have sold over a million copies worldwide and are the most influential books in the field.

Eric had an “accidental awakening” which created an instant shift in his mind and body. Suddenly, he saw life through different eyes. The shift was profound, and in an instant, he knew what he didn’t know. His inner observer came on line and new physiological mechanisms engaged as he received a “download.” Listen to his story and his meditation and mindfulness techniques so you, too, can have this experience. He says there is hope that you can live beyond fear, not being reactive, and that we have a choice about how life unfolds, shifting our hormonal state from fear to love.
