    About this ebook

    “Combines enneagram personality types with recovery movement techniques of releasing undesirable traits and affirming desirable ones.” —Library Journal

    To heal, one must truly know, and face, one’s self. But finding that inner, honest analysis of our own personalities is difficult to say the least. Without the right tools, it can be impossible. Since its development, the enneagram—a model of nine interconnected personality types that allows users to identify their habits and flaws—has helped countless individuals understand their hearts, bodies, and minds. Now, it can also help you change your life.
     
    In Enneagram Transformations, Don Richard Riso, one of the foremost developers of the enneagram, presents a groundbreaking contribution to the self-help field. Using releases and affirmations based on the various personalities, he shows readers how to unlock their psychological pains and strengths to promote healing, recovery, and tranquility.
     
    It’s time to reclaim your power. Enneagram Transformations contains the meditative tools you need to do so.

    Acknowledgments

    Readers and colleagues have been asking where I get my material, especially since my books have been appearing rather rapidly now. There are several answers to that question, although they can probably be reduced to two. First, the world, and especially people, are endless sources of material for Enneagram books—once one learns to see the types correctly. An extraordinary amount of knowledge can be had by noticing what is right under your nose. The hardest part is, of course, to put one’s preconceptions aside to observe real people in the real world. But if one does so, the material seems to present itself. All one has to do is write it down.

    Ideas for Enneagram books have also been suggested by my students, and this particular book, Enneagram Transformations, is a case in point. George Kwast, a graduate of my Trainings, suggested that I write affirmations for each personality type that could be read in times of crisis. George felt that it would be useful if I provided readers with a tool they could use when they were anxious, under stress, or otherwise in danger of spiraling down the Levels of Development into unhealthy states. He also felt that if people were already in a crisis, and feeling threatened and imbalanced, affirmations would be a helpful way of moving them out of their painful state. I have taken George’s suggestion, and the result is this book. I am indebted to him, as is anyone who benefits from these Transformations.

    I am equally in debt to my editor at Houghton Mifflin, Ruth Hapgood. The birth of this book was so sudden that it was as much a surprise to me as it was to my publisher, Houghton Mifflin. When I presented Ruth with the manuscript, her enthusiasm was extremely encouraging. She also wanted the book to be published promptly so that readers could benefit from the Transformations. Without Ruth’s support, this book could not have been made available so quickly.

    The warmth and professionalism of Sue Tecce, Ruth’s editorial assistant, is also greatly appreciated. Phone calls flew between New York and Boston as we shaped the manuscript, and Sue was on top of every situation with her usual thoroughness and
