David brought his knowledge of the Enneagram to individuals, couples and groups, and to a wide range of applications in clinical practice and the workplace.

      DEDICATION

      To Popee

      This may be the hardest part of this book that I write.

      Although I didn’t fully know you, I dedicate this book to you. Your love of the written and spoken word lives in me.

      Maybe you will respond and call me Son.

      Rest in Peace
