About this listen

The Buddhist Enneagram is a deeply personal exploration of Buddhist teachings on liberation from suffering and how the enneagram illuminates the way. This work is not an academic overview of interesting correlations between the systems. Rather, it shows how the enneagram gives powerful insight into your unique spiritual journey—and how you can support others in theirs.

Buddhist teacher and New York Times best-selling author Susan Piver has spent nearly 30 years in parallel study of Tibetan Buddhism and the enneagram. Piver masterfully weaves together two ancient schools of wisdom and magic in a compassionate exploration of the nine styles of traveling the path from confusion to wisdom.

With Buddhist teachings for each of the nine types, Piver illustrates that, no matter what your spiritual path is (including the path of no-path), the enneagram offers profound support for living a compassionate, fiercely awake life.

In this ground-breaking work, we find a way to untether ourselves from the merciless treadmill of self-improvement to see what is already perfect in ourselves, in others, and in every moment. This is the warrior’s journey.

Critic reviews

"With wisdom, creativity, and artistry, Susan Piver brings a Buddhist lens to the spiritual map of the enneagram. The results are vibrant and nourishing; a banquet of insights that help us transmute our difficult emotions into pure expressions of our basic goodness." (Tara Brach, best-selling author of Radical Acceptance and Trusting the Gold)

"By blending her long-time studies of Buddhism and the enneagram, Piver supports us to turn away from incessant self-improvement and relax into our natural brilliance. She assures us that everything we seek...is already here." (Mark Hyman, MD, 14-time New York Times best-selling author and founder of Ultrawellness)

I love her writing an explanation Style

I like the more subtle dissection of the Enneagram types and how she goes into detail about subtleties of the types themselves. Many blessings to her.

Grateful this exists

If you are the sort of person who can hear the sound of truth in many places, this book is one stop you must make on the journey. Sensitive and never “sappy,” Susan Piver puts all the keys on the table and allows you to choose when, where, how to use them. With meditation and the enneagram as companions, self-discovery and compassion become a superpower of authentic presence. There is something here for you no matter who you are.

My favorite enneagram book

As an enneagram practitioner it is often hard to find a book that shows a new perspective on this topic. This was a beautiful journey through known concepts and a shower of new ideas that I will take with me into my spiritual development.

Great Narration and succinct analysis of the enneagram…

Great Narration and succinct analysis of the enneagram from a spiritual perspective. It is the way Susan has carefully demystified the enneagram that provided more clarity and understanding for the subject regardless of how subjective typologies like this can be.

Her warm voice and performance puts one at ease quickly which makes you want to return to this book beyond using it as a reference guide.

Thank you

I thoroughly appreciate Susan Piver’s lens on both topics; she found a way to make all of it approachable, unique, and (already) beneficial to me.

Thank you for getting this out into the world as a book & audiobook.

Brilliant, illuminating, badass

Susan Piver is one of the most loving, brilliant, generous teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning from. A brilliant synthesis of how we human and how we can continue to learn and grow from each other. Literally blew my mind and my heart opens every time I listen to Susan’s voice.
