Features: "A book written for explorers" (Amazon review). The author begins by exploring the ancient origins of this knowledge—the Fourth Way—combining 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 the journey to medieval alchemy and the Jewish mystical philosophy of Kabbalah. After introducing the four bodily functions of a human (instinct, movement, intellect, emotion), the author goes on to introduce the various typical types of the enneagram, supported by personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions. To suit publication in China, the character sketches of each type in the book have been replaced with Chinese people instead of the original Americans, 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.
