 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 20 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 audiotapes and three books.
