More than a number: A practical guide to understanding yourself through the Enneagram personality model

The Enneagram is one of the world’s most dynamic and enduring personality models. Its origins are ancient, but it has profound contemporary applications. Through its nine patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, it shows us how to overcome our habitual patterns and how to think, feel and behave more consciously. This book, written by Martin Quigley, an Enneagram specialist and former Lead Trainer with Enneagram Training UK, invites the reader to take a deep dive into their inner world. Martin deliberately uses common terms and language to bring the Enneagram to life for readers. More than a number has all the information the reader needs to understand both themselves and others. There are also a number of applications, both personal and work-related, where the reader can examine features of themselves. The book is both a source of information and a workbook to guide the reader through the model. It is also a reference book for students and teachers working with the Enneagram. Coaches, therapists, counsellors and other professionals who work with people will find this book an invaluable resource and support. “If you’re new to the Enneagram, this book is perfect for you. If you are already Enneagram savy, you’ll want to read this book because it is that good.” (Ginger Lapid-Bogda, PhD, Founder of the Enneagram in Business) “As a long time Enneagram teacher myself I highly recommend this book for new and continuing students and practitioners.” (Peter O’Hanrahan, Core faculty member of the Narrative Enneagram School)
