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. Not only does it discuss the relationship between endocrine glands and psychology, but it also delves into Homer’s myths and the Olympian temples, tracing the journey all the way to medieval alchemy and the Jewish mystical philosophy of Kabbalah. After introducing the four bodily functions of humans (instinct, movement, intellect, emotion), the author begins to introduce the various typical types of the Enneagram, supplemented by personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions. To suit domestic publication, the character sketches of each type in the book have been replaced with Chinese people instead of Americans from the original, and the sketches were 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 one. "A book written for explorers" ("Amazon review").
