New uk drivers license verification. And once you get one, it is even more important to renew UK driving licence when about to expire because you can put yourself in trouble by not doing what Government wants you to do. That is because you can’t go see the places around yourself and also can’t reach your desired destinations in the given time. Hence, getting a driving licence is really important especially in UK.

Best personality theory ever, refreshingly devoid of new age bullcrap. This is for critical thinkers who understand that everyone is a work in progress. Provides an intimate and forgiving look at yourself - and everyone you'll ever meet.

The enneagram is a highly logical, accurate personality profiling system widely used by psychologists and intelligence agencies worldwide. The theory is that there are nine basic personality types, and everyone fits into one basic category, but you can have strong aspects, or 'wings' of the other categories as well. you are the only one who can truly 'type' yourself, and it is a tool for self-understanding and relationship building more than figuring out other people, but it stands true that the..more

I've lost track of the number of times I've recommended this book. The biggest selling point for me is that it helps you understand why you and your loved ones behave in the bizarre, annoying ways you do!
The book divides personality types into 9 broad categories, ranging from types like 'The Helper' who is the stereotypical caregiver who gives away all of their energy for others to 'The Reformer' who believes passionately in doing things responsibly and by the rules. You take a short quiz and th..more

Old Favorite. Along with Helen Palmer, Riso and Hudson are two of the most influential authors and teachers on Enneatype. Many people say that this is their favorite book on personality types due to the extensive detail and insightful observations regarding the inner workings and origins of type. Riso and Hudson are best known for their depiction of 'healthy', 'average' and 'unhealthy', versions of each personality type.

I took the Enneagram as an assignment in school and felt the results to be unlike me. And then, as another assignment, I was asked to read this book that delves into the significance of the Enneagram, the personality, and the 9 different personality types. I felt as if someone had stepped into my history and wrote down, experience by experience, the story of my life. It is intriguing and it sold me onto the usefulness of the Enneagram as an assessment tool.

Best book about the enneagram that I've read yet! I appreciated this one over others I've read because it seemed the most comprehensive and detailed. There was a vast amount of information about wings, and instinctual variants. And it explained the triadic self in an easily understandable way. Two thirds of the book was dedicated to each type. So I got in depth information (25 pages) on my type with info on what my wings and variants would look like. The book also includes a type questionnaire w..more
I love the Ennegram for its truth and flexibility of typing. It doesn't force a person into a label that is static. The idea is of growth, not identity. This book has a lot of detail not found in other Ennegram materials, like the internet sites. However, the main problem I had was the self-focus and the belief that an individual alone, him/herself, without other intervention could achieve the awareness necessary to change. It said we're in a trance and even questioned how someone in a trance ca..more

VERY insightful! It is one of the most down to earth books on personality that I've come across. The basic premise is that we're all beings of light and that our personalities can aid us or hinder us. If you find out the tendencies expressed in your personality you then have power to choose whether you keep them or if you need to get rid of them. Shedding bad personality traits allows us to get to our core being of light. Great book!
Thus far the Enneagram for me is a practical tool for letting go of the ego through recognizing its individual action in my life. All the spiritual traditions talk of the ego which is a simple enough concept in itself but in practical life how do we start to recognize and let go? How does it work in lived daily reality? Once you recognize the identity of the ego you can start to recognize when it attempts to assert itself in life and through that observational presence, can begin to let go. Unde..more

When it comes to personality typing, this book is to the Enneagram what Please Understand Me II is to Myers-Briggs. Basically, if you ever wanted to learn more about the Enneagram, then it is THE book to read on the subject. It definitely taught me a lot.

A comprehensive book on the enneagram system. Whether you believe in it or not (I myself have my reservations on some things) it is still a thought provoking book on a very interesting topic. Stays with you.

The classic on the Enneagram, which I believe is a brilliant personality system that is overrated as a spiritual path. In any case, Riso and Hudson give a clear overview.
This one was specially recommended by the presenters of the recent workshop I attended. Detailed, imaginative and thorough.
A great introduction to the 9 enneagram types, including suggestions on how to grow within your personality type.

I was reading Richard Rohr's book The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective, only because it's a Richard Rohr book and not because it's about the enneagram, about which I knew nothing. The enneagram distinguishes nine different personality types, and while reading Rohr's book I 'typed' myself as a Five. Then, however, I went online to the Enneagram Institute, and did a quick sampler test, and found I was equally two different types, neither of which was Five. (I can no longer access my test results..more

This book is co-authored and each one comes in with anecdotal pieces throughout the book, which lends an interesting flavor--almost as if you're sitting in on a conversation in some parts. The book opens with clear description of the enneagram's development: the symbol and the personality types. The history alone is fascinating reading, and a strong argument for lending some credibility to the system itself.
There's a questionnaire to help you determine your Enneagram type; descriptions about the..more
[For more direct thoughts on the Enneagram itself, refer to the comments for 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Power of the Enneagram.']
Our authors approach the Enneagram in an crucial way: a focus is performed on the important distinction between the essential self and the character armor (psychoanalytic term that Becker uses by way of Rank in 'Denial of Death') or character traits that the ego self takes on due to its basic scripting and unique fears. It is the latter which is mapped out thro..more
I picked up this book because my spiritual director recommended it. Over the years people had mentioned the Enneagram, & I had read about it & taken online tests, but had never fully identified with my apparent type (4). Sister Mel told me this book could help me sort out the subtleties of the various types & understand the system (& myself) better.
And it IS helping. I am indeed a 4, but I don't have the tendency toward emotional extremes that is often characteristic of this type..more
Generally, my philosophy is that books on 'personality types are a dime a dozen'. I don't know how many times I've taken quizzes whether it be myers-briggs, or that one that assigns you a color..they all remind of horoscopes..kind of there but not really. I feel differently about this book. It takes a different approach from multiple perspectives and pares the results down to nine types which are scarily accurate. The best part about this book that I think is different than others is the ackn..more

I'm going to be doing some teaching on the enneagram this summer, leading our staff through it and helping them discern their number. Thus, I wanted to read some more on it. This is a helpful book. If you're new to the Enneagram I wouldn't recommend it as there are shorter and easier to read books. I mean, it is layed out like a workbook (8x11 printing as opposed to smaller, normal book size). This large layout is not conducive to reading, but it is what you expect from a textbook. I didn't read..more
Really powerful, and an even better introduction to the concept of the Enneagram than the famous Personality Types book by the same authors. These two books really need to be read together, however, for a more full and nuanced reading of the Enneagram. This book taps into the deep inherent spirituality of the Enneagram, discussing the formation of the personality in light of the wounds of childhood, and dedicates many chapters to the confrontation and transcendence of the Human Essence over the..more
Dense with information, Riso and Hudson lay out their approach to the Enneagram, especially focusing on each type's biggest fears, desires, and motivations. This is considered by many to be the foremost resource when it comes to the Enneagram. Because there is so much information, I would encourage you to proceed with caution when first learning about the 9 types so as not to become overwhelmed. Once you know your type, dive on in!
if you are interested in discovering a more in-depth take on different personality types, this is a great read. i found it fascinating & eye opening..people are hard to understand when they're different than you - gave great insight in how they might think or see the world. great resource for healthy relationship work.

I am constantly reading this book. The Enneagram is a personality profile (for lack of a better term) similar to the Meyers--Briggs. Whenever I make a new friend I read up on them. And I am continually finding new bits about myself.

I read this book for my yoga book club. I do enjoy reading about personality types, and I was looking forward to it.
I am 57 years old. When I took the test in the beginning to find out my personality type (I am a six). I thought, that cant’ be right? But the more I read, the more I saw in my age and my situation of life, it was dead on. In my younger years I was much more confident (cocky?) and knew what I wanted.

This book came into my life at a time when I was most receptive to it, so it really had quite a profound impact on me. It was introduced to me by my best friend and his wife under the premise of having saved their marriage in lieu of more expensive couples counseling. I must say, it has given me the vocabulary to communicate so many facets of soft interpersonal skills that (as a Type Five) I definitely had an intellectual understanding of, but very little experience identifying and recognizing d..more

“The process of transforming the heart can be difficult because as we open it, we inevitably encounter our own pain and become more aware of the pain of others. In fact, much of our personality is designed to keep us from experiencing this suffering. We close down the sensitivity of our hearts so that we can block our pain and get on with things, but we are never entirely successful in avoiding it. Often, we are aware of our suffering just enough to make ourselves and everyone around us miserable. Carl Jung's famous dictum that 'neurosis is a substitute for legitimate suffering' points to this truth. But if we are not willing to experience our own hurt and grief, it can never be healed. Shutting out our real pain also renders us unable to feel joy, compassion, love, or any of the other capacities of the heart.”
“As I turned my head and looked out the window, I saw that everything around me was glowing from within. The sunlight on the trees, the swaying of the leaves in the wind, the slight rattle of the panes of glass in the old window frame, were too beautiful for words. I was enthralled at how miraculous everything was. Absolutely everything was beautiful. . . . More quotes…
I saw clearly that everyone is made of light—that we are like forms of light—but that a crust has formed over it. The crust is black and rubbery like tar and has obscured the inner light that is everyone’s real, inner self. Some blotches of tar are very thick; other areas are thinner and more transparent. Those who have worked on themselves for longer have less tar and they radiate more of their inner light. Because of their personal history, others are covered with more tar and need a great deal of work to get free of it. . . If we observe ourselves truthfully and non-judgmentally, seeing the mechanisms of our personality in action, we can wake up, and our lives can be a miraculous unfolding of beauty and joy.”

?The Enneagram Of Passions And Virtuesby Sandra Maitri
Genre : Body, Mind & Spirit
Publisher : Penguin ISBN_10 : 1585424064 Copyright Year : 2005 File Format : PDF, EPUB File Download : 231 Price : FREE READ FREEDOWNLOAD
DESCRIPTION : How the mysterious nine-pointed symbol of the enneagram illuminates the worst pitfalls and highest virtues of our psyches. The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues elucidates human experience beyond the personality structure. In the tradition of the enneagram, the Virtues are said to be the affective atmosphere that replaces the compulsive and reactive emotional patterns-called the Passions-as one becomes freer of the ego. Sandra Maitri shows how the shift in our consciousness, or soul, from being informed by the Passions to being informed by the Virtues, is one of the hallmarks of inner development. In this book, Maitri explores how our awareness of the Passions, in turn, leads to the manifestation of the Virtues. This shift supports rowth on the level of personality as well as on the level of what is beyond-Being, or True Nature. Maitri is widely known as one of the most literate and indepth writers and teachers on the uses of the enneagram as a tool of inner development. In this book she provides what can be for some an entry into inner work, and for others, who have been engaged in the journey for a longer time, a uniquely incisive explication of concepts they may have missed.
