This book is written with the assumption that readers already have a base knowledge of the enneagram, and that they probably know their enneagram number. Stabile explains that the Enneagram helps individuals uncover their underlying motivations and fears, offering a framework for understanding themselves and others more deeply. This journey towards accessing wholeness starts by recognizing that we already have all the pieces within us—nothing is missing.

I am passionate about the Enneagram and love sharing it with friends, co-workers, and family members. In The Journey Toward Wholeness , perhaps her most ambitious project to date, she wove her love of a good story with her passion for the Enneagram and produced a work that students and practitioners alike will find both readable and challenging. This book became repetitive and didn't seem to add much in terms of practical advice on spiritual practices that each type can use. That was a breaking point for me, the moment I started to notice how easy it was to divide certain qualities in specific situations and, simultaneously, how painful it was not to be able to express myself in my entirety. The compartmentalization I had created my life around forced me to sacrifice large parts of who I am for so many years of my life.Including thoughtful bonus content in the study guide, these resources used together will provide what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

Even though I have read multiple books about the Enneagram, I still struggled to read some of the jargon-loaded sentences. This book is concerned with the three centers of intelligence, and is broken down into two major sections: Triads and Stances. I believe that our common connection to the Source, the All, is imbedded in the very core of who we are.

The book encourages readers to approach the Enneagram with humility, openness, and a commitment to ongoing learning and development. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives. I adapted to whatever form seemed to make those around me most comfortable with little, if any regard, for my own needs. Again, Stabile offers an introduction to each stance, and a chapter for each type within a stance and resources for incorporating the repressed intelligence. If you're trying to navigate the chaos on your own and need closure for past abuses at the hand of another, we are here to help you with your emotional healing and spiritual wholeness.
