"Power of Nine = Key of Joy and Happiness"

The Enneagram in Love and Work
by Helen Palmer

She made the enneagram a usable tool. Her book remain the best in a growing field. Her grasp of the subject is head and shoulders above the rest, simply because she trusts the voices of her interviewees to speak their truth rather than draw conclusions about personalities based on observation and abstraction.

Her grasp of the material is enormous and the insights on relationships - given the limited context of a book - are almost spooky. Her description of their different Temperament Types that marry in the "Directory of Relationships" read like a psychologist's summary after meeting with them for a year. This section of the book is an ambitious undertaking by Palmer - pairing all the types and describing typical strengths, issues and characteristics of the combinations.
