Synopsis

Buddhist wisdom meets the enneagram to offer spiritual guidance tailored to your unique personality.

This integrated framework, from NYT best-selling author Susan Piver, will help you become your best self, deepen your relationships, and embrace authentic connection.

This illuminating integration of the enneagram personality types with Buddhist wisdom offers a uniquely insightful path of self-discovery and spiritual growth that transcends traditional personality typing.

Meditation teacher Susan Piver combines nearly 30 years of experience as a Buddhist practitioner with enneagram teachings, offering readers a deeply personal and nuanced exploration of their spiritual journey that surpasses typical self-help narratives. Through personal anecdotes, reflective exercises, and spiritual wisdom, Piver demonstrates how understanding your type's inherent challenges and gifts can lead to profound personal transformation. The book also explores the three centers of intelligence, integration and disintegration patterns, and the unique spiritual challenges each type faces.

Readers will gain powerful tools for navigating relationships, understanding emotional patterns, and cultivating compassion for themselves and others. Whether you're new to the enneagram or a seasoned practitioner, this compelling work offers fresh perspectives on personal growth and spiritual development. Piver's authentic voice and deep insights make this an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand themselves more fully and create meaningful connections with others.
