It would be impossible for most of us to spend a day without coming into direct or indirect contact with dozens of people family, friends, people in the street, at the office, on television, in our fantasies and fears. Our relationships with others are the most changeable, infuriating, pleasurable and mystifying elements in our lives. Personality types, based on the ancient system of the Enneagram, will help you to enjoy more satisfying and fulfilling relationships in all areas of your life by introducing you to the nine basic personality types inherent in human nature. This knowledge will help you better understand how others think and why they behave as they do, as well as increasing your awareness of your own individual personality. Written by the leading world authority on the Enneagram, it offers a framework for understanding ourselves and those around us, as well as a wealth of practical insights for anyone interested in psychology, counselling, teaching, social work, journalism and personal management.

New from Helen Palmer, a "leading teacher and practitioner of the Enneagram" (San Francisco Chronicle), the first Enneagram book to give practical advice, in fascinating detail, on how to have the best possible relationships in love and business.

The Enneagram is a powerful tool that is reshaping business in the ''90s. With straightforward techniques that are easy to understand and simple to apply, Helen Palmer teaches you how to identify your colleagues, bosses, clients, and yourself as one of the nine personalities: the Perfectionist, the Giver, the Performer, the Romantic, the Observer, the Loyal Skeptic, the Epicure, the Boss, or the Mediator. She pinpoints the strengths and weaknesses of the types and reveals how they interact with others, how they think and perform their jobs, what motivates them, and how they communicate.Whether you are making crucial business decisions, troubleshooting and problem solving, building creative teams, or adapting your business to competitive markets, The Enneagram Advantage lets you master a powerful method of understanding yourself and others that is particularly well suited to professional associations and activities.

Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective, bringing together new materialist feminisms, experimental linguistic formalism and queer theory.She explores how we might radically restructure this gesture of ''making-strange'' to create a dialogue with the affirmations of ''deviant'', ''errant'', ''alternative'' and ''multiple'' modes of being which have become synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory harnesses the creative potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all human beings to express themselves without the classification or judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source, but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of terminological boundaries. Palmer asks what a 21st-century queer defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes of normativity or historicisation.

Palmer provides sets of questions and key features that help readers identify their own personality types, as well as the types with which they will most positively and negatively interact, to enable them to realize their full potential in love and work. Diagrams.

This book is an original exploration of Deleuze''s dynamic philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices. Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian futurist manifestos, the ''futurist'' aspects of Deleuze''s language and thought are drawn out. The genre of the futurist manifesto is a literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuze''s work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as Difference and Repetition (1968) and The Logic of Sense (1969). The way in which avant-garde manifestos often attempt to perform and demand their aims simultaneously, and the problems which arise due to this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuze''s writing. With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the philosophy behind futurist ''nonsense'' language and how Deleuze propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. This book critically engages with Deleuze''s poetics, ultimately suggesting that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his philosophy.

I. Gurdjieff），他認為，正是人格裡的缺陷為我們帶來了不必要的痛苦。每種人格都有一個「主要特質」，我們性格中虛妄不實的面向便是圍繞著它發展而來。這些人格特質大多是小時候被強加在我們身上的，而不是出於自由意志的選擇。 一九七〇年代，九型人格理論在美國被心理學家發揚光大。之後，迅速被應用於商務及自我成長領域。九型人格理論內含的認知及情緒架構，能夠幫助我們了解自己的人格缺陷，並進而將其轉化，這個系統清楚地指出了人類可能的靈魂進化之路。 九型人格理論是非常實用的個人成長工具。本書匯集了數百名個案的口述分享，鉅細靡遺地呈現這九種類型的心路歷程，你可以用它達成個人的覺醒，讓它喚醒內在深處的美好品質。 各界讚譽 「海倫．帕瑪寫的這本書是一份天大的禮物，她分享了她對於九型人格的瞭解……她認為九型人格的每一種類型都是建立在某種感知／錯誤感知上，這一點對我們尤其有幫助。」 ——查爾斯．塔特（Charles T. Tart），加州大學戴維斯分校心理學教授 「海倫．帕瑪這本優雅的著作是無價之寶……它是一本實用的指導手冊，能夠幫助我們瞭解自己，同時也對各種人格類型進行了精細的分析。」 ——詹姆士．唐納修（James A.
