Publisher:
Publish Date: 2003-01-01
Features: "A book written for explorers" ("Amazon review"). The author begins by exploring the ancient origins of this knowledge—the Fourth Way—and combines it with modern scientific observations and research. The book not only discusses the relationship between endocrine glands and psychology but also delves into Homer's myths and the Olympian temples, tracing its journey to medieval alchemy and Jewish mystical philosophy Kabbalah. After introducing the four bodily functions of humans (instinct, movement, intellect, emotion), the author proceeds to introduce the various typical types of the enneagram, supported by personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions. To suit domestic publication, the character sketches of each type in the book have been replaced with Chinese instead of Americans from the original, created by renowned painters from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This book is not just for scholars; it is also a practical and wise guide. "A book written for explorers" ("Amazon review").
