The Secrets of the Enneagram

The New Enneagram – revolutionary modern insights into an ancient secret. Its history is documented in mankind’s most ancient and revered books of wisdom: the first record of the enneagram is from around 2500 BC, Pythagoras used the symbol as his spiritual signature in 540 BC, Egypt’s Desert Fathers developed its use in the fourth century AD, and it was central to the psychological  teachings of the Sufis in the eighth century. Handed down as an arcane science, the enneagram has more relevance than ever in today’s world. The insights that can be gleaned from it have made enormous advances.

The latest knowledge gained from the rapidly developing field of neurology has contributed to the reinterpretation of the enneagram. Now, for the first time, it is possible for the enneagram to be scientifically established, its uses and meaning investigated, substantiated, and re-examined. Hans-Jürgen Breuer’s The Secrets of the Enneagram comes in the form of a practical guide for living, explaining in an accessible manner the ways in which the enneagram can be employed profitably to enhance your personal development and to help you accurately evaluate those around you.

Hans-Jürgen Breuer studied political economics at Freiburg University and has a PhD in politics. In 1990 he set up his own company specialising in personnel management and has worked as a consultant ever since. After completing training in psychotherapy, he now also works as a management coach.
