"WOWZA. I am so loving this book! Okay i'm not really on p 411 because I skip around a bit but, still, I'm finding this to be a really thorough and depthful exploration of how the Enneagram can be used to identify & (1) disindentify from the Personality through self observation, (2) surrender to the fear & emotional suffering associated with loosening ego defenses, and (3) actively work toward transcendence & union." — Oct 25, 2014 10:19AM

"Wow. I read dozens of books a year and haven't read a book in years that I recommend as highly as this one. It's not just about saying 'No' but about living in accordance with our deepest needs and values by getting clear about that to which, in our urge to say No, we are really wanting to say Yes. I don't care what other books I 'should' be reading for school rather than this one, cuz the author had me at "No." ;-)" — Oct 18, 2013 06:18PM

“Pardon all runners,
All speechless, alien winds,
All mad waters.
Pardon their impulses,
Their wild attitudes,
Their young flights, their reticence.
When a message has no clothes on
How can it be spoken.”

“First of all, although men have a common destiny, each individual also has to work out his own personal salvation for himself in fear and trembling. We can help one another to find the meaning of life no doubt. But in the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence. You cannot tell me who I am and I cannot tell you who you are. If you do not know your own identity, who is going to identify you?”
