The e-book is a thoughtfully crafted companion to the audio content, filled with visual aids and easy-to-digest information. It's designed to be a quick reference guide, so you don't have to skim through the whole audio every time you want to remember, say, the essential quality of a given type. We didn't want a text-heavy companion book, so the e-book is mostly graphics and tables that organize the course information into bite sized chunks.

Why This Program Stands Apart
Most Enneagram sources give you surface level descriptions like "Type 7 loves to have fun!"
Instagram-able statements like aren't just overly simple, they're misleading. They say nothing substantive about psychic structure, and they blur type distinctions (surprise... Type 7 isn't the only one that likes fun).
We take you deeper.
We avoid simple platitudes and don't settle for quick and easy descriptors. Instead, we draw on evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, and core principles from wisdom traditions to guide you through the base layers of the psyche where personality forms.

What Our Students Say
Sam Leuenberger
The kind of people drawn by the level of teaching offered by The Enneagram School are, in many cases, the kind of people that actually make you kind of glad that the Internet exists. The originality and depth of Enneagram content that is the School’s bread and butter testifies to Lavine & Luckovich’s significant and ongoing contributions to an active wisdom tradition.
Renée Heitman
Josh and John present complex topics with such elegance and clarity that absolute beginners can grasp the concepts. Their theoretical work on the centers of intelligence provides a stable foundation for understanding the enneagram that allows for much deeper exploration of the types than rigid and simplistic behavioral profiles. For beginners, this is the place to start; for the experienced, I recommend taking in the new perspectives offered by the Enneagram School.
Karrie Brandt
Josh and John are cutting-edge Enneagram experts who I deeply respect because of how they each have digested the information about the system in their own, individual way. They bring themselves, their essences, to their teaching, and all of the students can feel this. Even though I took the first class offered by The Enneagram School over a year ago, I still think about the ideas and concepts presented by Josh and John. They have both digested the layers of the Enneagram framework at a deeper level than most other teachers and practitioners I have encountered.
Kathy McDonald
I’m such a fan of the mission of The Enneagram School to provide high quality Enneagram curriculum and practical tools for self-development. Josh Lavine and John Luckovich are so personally dedicated to this mission and to creating a beautiful community for those of us interested in serious inner work via the Enneagram. I have been a student of both Josh and John over the years and love the way they share their knowledge. They have a real respect and enthusiasm for the material and are able to present complex concepts in an approachable, relatable way. They are both dedicated to making sure they stay true to the material, not giving some “watered down” version of Enneagram theory. I can think of no better teachers for those beginning on their Enneagram journey. I have had so many instances when I’ve encountered others newly interested in the Enneagram struggling to know where to start. For sure I’ll be directing them to this Intro to the Enneagram course from now on.
