An excellent intro to the Enneagram, April 18,
2002
Reviewer: Frank
J Cote (see more about me) from Downers Grove, Il
USA
This book was my intro to the Enneagram and it is excellent.
It has very good descriptions of the 9 types and how to find out where
you fit.
Its real distinguishing feature is a breakdown on how each
group relates to the others in practical everyday situations. Like what to
do if you work for a 7 or what if you are a 7.
I wasn't sure which
type I was ( I'm a nine) and I read all the rest first. I kept trying to
fit myself into a 7 or a 5 but, when I read the 9 chapter it sounded like
he reached into my heart and pulled out the things no one else knows about
me. I can still feel it today.
Then they go on with more, practical
info and advise about what to do with your new found knowlege.
I've
since read "Wisdom of the Enneagram" and "Personality Types." They are
also very good but I wouldn't recommend them as your first Enneagram
book.

One of the best Enneagram books in print.,
September 5, 2001
Reviewer: qteacher
(see more about me) from Oakland, CA United
States
Certainly this is one of the most practical, real-world
approaches ever taken to the Enneagram. It's short on 'spiritual' hooey
[which is strictly okay with me] and long on realistic application of the
Enneagram to your professional and personal daily life. But that does not
mean it is in any way shallow -- it is as specific, insightful and dead-on
acurate as any book on the market. His descriptions of the types is
thourough, well-organized and articulate. [BE AWARE, however, that it is
largely a re-hash - if a superior re-hash -- of his earlier "Boss's
Number."] If you are less interested in the new-agey, spiritual aspects of
the Enneagram, and looking for a clear articulation of how the principles
work in your dialy life, this might be the best of the
bunch.

The ONLY enneagram book I use with business
clients!, December 15, 2000
Reviewer: Mary
Bast (see more about me) from Gainesville, Florida United
States
Goldberg's book is written in language that business
people can quickly understand, and full of examples they can relate to.
It's a superb presentation of the nine leadership styles--accessible and
practical. I've used it very effectively in team sessions and in
individual coaching ... My business clients especially gravitate to the
"Cardinal Rules" at the end of each chapter (how to work with each type
and how to work on yourself if it's your type).

One of the best books on the practical
application, May 2, 2000
Reviewer: graberdc
(see more about me) from USA
This is a revised and
improved version of Mr. Goldberg's previous book, which was excellent to
begin with. If you are new to the enneagram, or have extensive knowledge
of it, Mr. Goldberg's book is an excellent resource. Charts which give a
quick & accurate overview; in-depth descriptions of each types work,
decision making, and leadership styles; excellent distinctions on
differentiating types which appear similar. Very practical and usefull,
especially in the office setting. The new version clarifies concepts, and
includes some of the more esoteric concepts of the types. Michael
Goldberg's good command of many of the enneagram dynamics originally
taught by Oscar Ichazo, and he has put them into practical use. I refer to
this book often.
