An outstanding book that offers precise steps to take to wake up to the self-limiting habits of your personality, get out of your own way, and give yourself the gift of accessing more of your higher--more authentic--self. --Ian Morgan Cron, author, The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up pays special attention to the all-important arcs of transformation for each enneagram type. Includes many suggestions for making the journey to healing and wholeness. --Susan Piver, author of The Four Noble Truths of Love While there are many new books and podcasts about the Enneagram these days, most of them are simply describing the nine types--sometimes in amusing ways, but often as simple stereotypes. It takes many years to really master this material, and Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes have done so. In The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up, they provide lucid descriptions of the types, but also guide the reader beyond this to an understanding of the original purpose of the Enneagram work. They offer wonderful, clear insights and practices that will help you find your dominant type as well as the crucial teachings of what to do with this knowledge. They present accessible methods for transforming your life and 'waking up' as the title suggests. Beatrice and Uranio are true leaders and pioneers in the field of Enneagram studies, and I highly recommend this book to those seeking a deeper understanding of these powerful teachings. --Russ Hudson, author of The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence, and co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram
