This connects the enneagram to kabbalah and mysticism. I've seen this in a few other books but this one does a decent job. I need to spend more time with it in the future to get more out of it though.

Even if you are not Jewish, the middle section dealing with personality types makes this book worthwhile. The author's explanations of the 9 personality types of the Enneagram are clear and easy to understand and relate to.
