Description

Patrick O´Leary has taught the Enneagram for 53 years, he is the founder of the International Enneagram Association and has become a Wisdom figure in the Enneagram world. He is also the co-author of the very first published book on the Enneagram (1984): "The Enneagram: A Journey of Self Discovery". Patrick O´Leary has found that the Enneagram gave us a language to describe the innermost self and he tells about identifying with type 3 and discovering, that people felt he had a hidden agenda. Listen to him discerning these patterns in himself and learning to become psychological naked and how to return to authenticity. He also reveals how the Enneagram was taught to him and a small group of 15 men and how it was spread like a wild fire across North America and Worldwide. In this episode he also wishes for the Enneagram that we get back to basics instead of complicating it: "As I sit here 50 some years later and I hear and see all the things that have been added to the Enneagram, I'm glad for the excitement and I'm glad for the application of new insight. I would only caution people to say, is all this necessary or are we just simply obfuscating a very healthy way of looking at human personality? I mean, when you get subtypes and stacks and and multiple subtypes. How many times can you multiply the small pieces?"
