Head versus Heart

Based on the enneagram, it is the most important new material on it in thirty years. It uncovers for the first time the logic behind the system.

Commendation from Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury: "Written by a highly experienced, wise and practical parish priest, it guides the reader gently and firmly through a whole programme of discovery and - in the proper sense - conversion. This particular reader was forced again and again to recognise the challenging sense of the analysis offered, and hopes that many more will find the same excitement and prompting to growth in these pages."

Commendation from Richard Rohr, author of The Enneagram a Christian Perspective: "The enneagram never ceases to fascinate and reveal new depths about the human person. Michael Hampson's book will do exactly that, along with some new insights that might please both the scientific minded and the faith community too."

Commendation from Alan Le Grys, principal of the South East Institute for Theological Education: "Michael Hampson brings a fresh and innovative approach to the Enneagram which will enable many people to grow not only in self-understanding but also in pastoral relationships and spiritual development. The careful reader will find in this book not only a great deal of insight, but also a thorough introduction to the wisdom of the enneagram."

Commendation from Linda Woodhead, Senior Lecturer in Christian Studies, Lancaster University: "This is a book with huge appeal - to those who want to know more about themselves, more about others, more about prayer, and more about how the Bible relates to all this. As if that wasn t enough, Michael Hampson also offers new insights about the enneagram itself - its uses, its neurological basis, and its enduring power."
