The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence
A Journey to Personal and Professional Success
About
Your key to living the life you were meant to live
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is one of the biggest predictors of personal and professional success, and the key to effectively developing your EQ is tying it to your own personality type. In this book, certified EQ coach and Enneagram teacher Scott Allender helps you chart a personality-specific path toward lasting self-awareness and health. Allender uses the popular Enneagram framework to illuminate how each of the nine Enneagram types aligns with the five essential skills of emotional intelligence: self-perception, self-expression, interpersonal relationships, decision-making, and stress management. You'll discover how to
· break free from the hidden fears that dictate your choices
· make more intentional decisions
· better understand the emotional dynamics of colleagues, friends, and family
· and more
In this journey toward radical self-awareness, you'll learn how to combat the self-limiting beliefs that have kept you from living the life you were meant to live all along.
"The single most powerful tool I've encountered to gain emotional intelligence is the Enneagram. It's given me a level of self-awareness that almost feels like magical insight. If you want to better yourself, read Scott's book. Beware, though--before he wrote it he may have read your diary."--Donald Miller, author, speaker, and CEO of StoryBrand and Business Made Simple
"Scott Allender has provided a practical, accessible, and yet profound guide to living a better life through self-understanding grounded in a clearly articulated and effective integration of EQ and the Enneagram and in his own personal experience of transformation."--Beatrice Chestnut, PhD, author of The Complete Enneagram and The 9 Types of Leadership and coauthor of The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up

"The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence offers an incisive perspective on why it doesn't work to white-knuckle sustainable, soul-level change--and what to do instead. Using insights from the Enneagram, emotional intelligence coaching, and decades of experience in leadership, Allender guides readers to understand and apply their Enneagram knowledge for personal and professional development. I've read dozens of Enneagram books, but this is one that will stick with me, and I anticipate recommending it time and again."
