From a celebrated Enneagram teacher,
the first book of its kind. Presenting his fresh and
practical approach to the Enneagram, Tom Condon shows
you how to explicitly use the system as a tool for
personal growth, change and fulfillment.
The Dynamic Enneagram goes beyond simply
providing insight into the Enneagram's nine
personality styles. Tom brings 25 years of experience
in workshops around the world to show you how you can
apply that insight to maximize your strengths, temper
your weaknesses and fulfill your true potential.
The Dynamic Enneagram takes the Enneagram many
new steps further as a practical guide to growth and
change. Thomas Condon has selected techniques from
many different psychotherapies-especially NLP &
Ericksonian Hypnosis and Brief Therapy - and adapted
their techniques to the needs and dilemmas of each
Enneagram personality style. The result is a
"tool-set" for personal change - useful practices and
ideas that you can adopt to transcend limits, resolve
conflicts and improve relationships.
Newcomers will appreciate The
Dynamic Enneagram's vivid descriptions, informal
style, and everyday "real world" examples. Those
familiar with the Enneagram will enjoy a fresh
perspective on the system, one that emphasizes choice
and possibility.
Those with therapeutic or "people-helping" backgrounds
will find a wide range of new techniques to promote
rapid, enduring change in their clients.
Professionals of all kinds will find
principles and ideas that can be adapted to their
specialized needs. Therapists and people-helpers will
acquire skills for rapid, deep diagnosis plus
"skeleton key" techniques that work successfully with
core Enneagram dilemmas.
The foreword by Hillel Zeitlin, MSW,
Director of the Milton H. Erickson Institute of
Maryland, underscores The Dynamic Enneagram's
benefits for therapists, people-helpers as well as
motivated seekers of personal change.
The Dynamic
Enneagram contains
powerful tools for making changes, solving problems,
and enhancing the gifts of each personality style. It
will appeal to anyone wanting new horizons in their
personal and professional growth.
The Dynamic
Enneagram is packed with
powerful yet simple techniques that anyone can use to
overcome limits, improve relationships, and master
times of challenge and change. Using humor, teaching
stories and real-life examples, Tom reveals the life
scripts that bind each of us and identifies how anyone
can optimize her or his own life story.
Tom's material has been widely field-tested in
hundreds of workshops in the U.S. and Europe. It has
proven very popular with self-help audiences,
psychologists, business people, and anyone else for
whom personal growth and professional communication
are important.

About
The Enneagram
The subject of several recent
best-selling books, the Enneagram is a powerful
overview of human psychological types. The Enneagram
is about people - how we are the same, how we are
different, what makes us tick. It presents an
organized system that describes the nine core
personality styles that human beings tend to favor.
The Enneagram's description of these styles is
profound, comprehensive and penetrating. Newcomers to
the system are often stunned to discover uncannily
accurate portraits of themselves, their friends,
coworkers, parents and intimates.
The Enneagram is on a fast and
steady-rising arc of popularity. 1994's First
International Enneagram Conference at Stanford
University attracted 1400 people. 1997's Conference at
Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland was similarly
well-attended. Helen Palmer's The Enneagram In Love
and Work was on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Her recent business book, The Enneagram Advantage, has
spent several weeks on the San Francisco Bay Area
Bestseller list.
The popular media has showcased the
Enneagram with articles in Newsweek, Mademoiselle,
Esquire, Psychology Today, Teen, Selling, and
dozens of newspapers. The Enneagram has been featured
in a new Time-Life series on psychology and figured
significantly in Tony Schwartz's recent book, What
Really Matters. Upcoming magazine articles are
slated for Cosmopolitan, Common Boundary and
Self. The two earliest books on the Enneagram,
published in 1987 and 1988, continue to sell steadily
and well.
While there are well over a million
books already sold on the Enneagram but they are
primarily about diagnosis. There is a dearth of solid
material about what to do after you have identified
your personality style. With the subject well
established by the best-selling works of Helen Palmer
and Don Richard Riso, the next big area of interest is
in the Enneagram's applications, especially as a tool
for personal evolution.
Thomas Condon has worked with the
Enneagram since 1980. He has taught classes at Antioch
University, and the University of California,
Berkeley, as well as hundreds of workshops in the U.S.
and Europe. He is the author of 50 CDs, DVDs and
books.
