The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge

By Beatrice Chestnut

Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Self-Help

The Complete Enneagram (She Writes Press, 2013) is psychotherapist Beatrice Chestnut's guide to the nine Enneagram personality types and their twenty-seven subtypes. Building on the work of Claudio Naranjo, Chestnut explains how each type combines with one of three instincts, self-preservation, social or one-to-one, to produce subtypes that can look very different. For each she describes typical patterns of attention, motivation and defense, the blind spots that hold people back and practical steps for growth, helping readers identify their type.

• Tim Ferriss: “There's a book called The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut. And I've been very skeptical of the Enneagram because it reads to me often like a horoscope of sorts, like astrology.”
