With roots in antiquity, the Enneagram is one of the world’s most enduring systems for understanding the human mind. Today it is popular among career counselors, religious study groups, therapists, and even parents of teenagers. They use it as an uncanny guide to nine character fixations that distinguish all humans from one another and relate them to the central passions in the world’s sacred texts.

On From Fixation to Freedom, Eli Jaxon-Bear returns us to the Enneagram’s original tradition, first revealed in modern times by the mystic Gurdjieff after visiting the mystery schools in the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia.
