Breckenridge Enneagram

The Breckenridge Enneagram
A Guide to Personal and Professional Growth
	Mark Bodnarczuk’s new book, The Breckenridge Enneagram, is a state-of-the-art guide to personal and professional growth. Never before has there been such an in-depth approach to identifying the key elements of your personality. Using this most up-to-date approach, you will learn how to transcend the tacit, autopilot responses that form your personality and govern how you relate to others. Soon, you will be building more effective personal and business relationships, and living life more authentically. The Breckenridge Enneagram is set apart from other approaches to understanding and utilizing the nine personality types by its unique focus on a naturalistic, scientific view of personality and psychological processes that are linked to modern advances in the neurosciences. So whether you’re a therapist, type professional, teacher, or serious student of the Enneagram, this book will change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Read what the experts have to say:
“In a sea of books that tend to present themselves as solving the personality mysteries of mankind, it’s good to find one that explains straightforward, valuable information about what makes us tick. The down to earth nature of Mark Bodnarczuk’s Breckenridge Enneagram opens our eyes to the truth of the interaction between ourselves and the world around us, and affords the opportunity to make real changes in our lives.” Mark S. Majors, Ph.D., author of, Dichotomies for Dyads “Bob Dylan penned, ‘You can never wrap your mind around every conceivable point of view.’ However, Mark Bodnarczuk has done just that relative to the Enneagram in offering a complete examination and explanation – the result – the Breckenridge Enneagram. I am particularly impressed with how the model assists with the transformation process ‘…moving toward Authenticity in Context, where we discover and concretize our individual answer to the collective existential questions of life.’ I am an ardent advocate of living the question. Bodnarczuk provides a framework and a tool that enable me to live my questions with deeper intensity and clearer purpose.” Richard Bents, Ph.D., Partner, Future Systems Consulting “Bodnarczuk has filled an important gap in the field of Enneagram studies, providing a naturalistic rather than spiritual basis for the phenomenon of the nine personality types. As an Enneagram 5, I appreciate the book's careful exploration of both the psychological and spiritual original sources, from Maslow to Naranjo. And as an MIT grad I know that the Breckenridge Enneagram will appeal to scientists, engineers, and aficionados of management science.” Don Fowke, SM, P.Eng. FCMC, co-founder, New Management Network “This book is destined to become the quintessential reference book on the Enneagram with the complete background as well as powerful descriptions and processes for growth that complement the Jungian, Temperament, and Emotion based models already in use.” Linda V. Berens, Ph.D. Founder of Interstrength Associates and author of, An Introduction to the 4 Temperaments 3.0, and An Introduction to Interaction Styles 2.0 “As an expert on Jungian typology, I take a deep breath of relief. Mark Bodnarczuk has a sober and professional approach to the complex dimensions of the human personality. He describes an authentic search for self, rather than pigeon-hole strategies.” Reiner Blank, Ph.D., co-author of, Persönlichkeit und Spiritualität “In over thirty years of research and work in the field of personality and development, I have rarely come across a work that so exquisitely integrates the key models of psychology into as practical a tool as you will find in this book.” Roger R.
