With the Enneagram as its foundation, this examination describes the nine different personality types distinguished by this ancient Sufi teaching and demonstrates how each individual possesses one dominant type that determines his way of feeling about and perceiving the world. More than simply providing an analytic description of each character type, however, this guide shows how the Enneagram itself proposes antidotes to the shortcomings of each personality type. These antidotes lead to greater freedom and increased creativity and spontaneity when dealing with changing circumstances. In order to more vividly illustrate the central theme of the book, a section is included that uses nine characters from Honoré de Balzac’s work as examples of the personality types.

Más allá de simplemente proveer una descripción analítica de cada tipo de carácter, sin embargo, esta guía enseña cómo el eneagrama mismo ofrece antídotos contra los defectos de cada tipo de personalidad. Estos antídotos conducen a mayor libertad y mayor creatividad y espontaneidad cuando respondiendo a circunstancias nuevas. Para poder mejor ilustrar el tema central del libro, se incluye una sección que usa nueve personajes de las obras de Honoré de Balzac como ejemplos de los tipos de personalidad.
