In this presentation, Frank De Luca discusses how the Enneagram is an invaluable tool that helped him to understand and guide clients in his therapy practice and how it can help anyone reduce conflict and increase cooperation with others. He briefly introduces the nine Types and discusses how the book is organized in order to help you understand others more deeply and learn to relate to them in ways that bring out their best. He reads from several sections of the book and closes with his poem entitled “Kindness,” which is the main focus of A Field Guide to Humans. View an excerpt or full-length video HERE.

This discussion of the Enneagram Nine Personality Types includes each Type’s main focus, their rules of life, and their avoidances. There is also discussion of how the Enneagram helps to deepen your appreciation of others, seeing them as “human creatures” who have their own unique gifts, worthy of your attention and curiosity.

The Enneagram cannot be conveyed through words alone. Author and therapist Frank De Luca builds off the illustrations of the nine Types to speak about the aspects that make each Type unique. With an engaging back-and-forth with the audience, more of the nuances of each Type come into view through stories and examples and well as readings from selected chapters.
