The Enneagram and NLP: A Journey of Evolution

Anyone with comprehensive knowledge of NLP's Metaprogrammes and interventions will applaud the combination of Enneagram and NLP in this useful and well thought out book.

This book is an ideal summary for all those who've followed the NLP master-pratitioner course at Anne-Linden. Especially the summary of all NLP exercises at the end of the book is great and good to have as back-up summary. Very good readable and easy to understand

The audience for this book is small. It starts from the assumption that the reader knows well both the Enneagram and NLP. If that's not you, don't buy this book. If you like the richness of the Enneagram as a personality topography and the power of NLP techniques for making rapid change, then you will love this pragmatic book that maps the challenges of each of the 9 personality types to the most appropriate NLP techniques. If you coach, consult, teach, or do therapy, and you use both the Enneagram and NLP in your work, this book, this manual, is brilliant.

Without over-elaborating on either NLP or Enneagram, the authors set a useful framework from which innumerable questions and experiments may arise. For those who doubt the efficacy of NLP, I say try it, and to those who believe the Enneagram is too rigid a tool to enhance NLP, you might try thinking of the latter as a directionalizing tool, a short-hand personality typing system, rather than something that wills a personality into stone. Each brings leverage to the other and engenders intelligent interpersonal living... An added bonus is that this book includes very useful NLP models that you won't find anywhere else, ie., most happily Anne Linden's Boundaries Model and Process.
