Summary of Beatrice Chestnut's The Complete Enneagram

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The Enneagram is a personality test that views the personality as a false self that developed to allow your true self to adapt and fit in with other humans. It views the personality as a defensive or compensatory self whose coping strategies developed to help you fulfill your needs and reduce your anxieties.

#2 The Enneagram is a tool that helps us recognize and accept all of who we are, including the Shadow side and difficult parts of our experience. It allows us to compassionately address the disowned and fixated parts of our personalities.

#3 The Enneagram helps us identify specific patterns of personality and their accompanying Shadows. It describes the habits and traits of twenty-seven false selves in a systematic way. Each of these three centers is then further divided into three personality types, for a total of nine types.

#4 Each Enneagram type is associated with one of nine passions, which point to the central emotional-motivational issue for each type. The passions are emotional drivers based on an implicit view about what you need to survive and how you can get it.
