Summary of Beatrice Chestnut & Uranio Paes's The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 One was a person who came into this world as a spontaneous child ready to appreciate the inherent perfection of life. He felt free to experience joy and fun in everything he did. But he had a painful experience of feeling criticized, and as a result, he developed an ability to notice and correct his own errors. #2 One became completely deadened to any real sense of himself. He fell asleep to his own inherent goodness, which was revealed in his good intentions and genuine desire to be a good person. He could only keep following the rules and working hard to meet the highest standards. #3 If you are a Type 1 personality, you have a harsh inner critic that monitors what you do and operates most of the time. You are sensitive to criticism from others, and you naturally sort perceptions into good or bad, right or wrong. #4 If you are a Type 1, the first step on your path of awakening is to learn to observe yourself more consciously. This means developing the ability to notice your specific habits of judging yourself and others, without judging yourself for judging.
