Produktbeschreibung

Individually, each offers guidance and wisdom; together, they show the forces that propel us and shape our personalities and behavior. Most important, the two suggest how we can live more harmoniously with ourselves and with others, minimize friction and tension and discover our own spiritual gateway to God. In this updated and expanded edition of his pioneering book, Rabbi Addison shows that, when brought together, the Enneagram and Kabbalah may enhance understanding of humanity's deepest motivations?both individually and collectively?thus opening wider the gate to personal growth.
