What I like about the book is that even though it addresses the angry person as “the problem” and the focus is on how that person expresses or fails to express hidden anger, there is a strong call to action on the part of the person who is in a relationship with the angry person.

In this article, I will review two Enneagram books by Elizabeth Wagele, the Enneagram of Parenting and the book she wrote for children, to help them better understand themselves, Finding the Birthday Cake. Both books have helped me and my son tremendously! Both books offer helpful quizzes for parents to use to evaluate their children to see which Enneagram style they use.

This book explains very lucidly how patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behavior are created and how we develop habits and mental programs over a period of time. The techniques described in this book help one to disentangle and re-define life-situations; and to clarify feelings and thoughts to his/her own advantage. It provides new resources to move forward proactively and positively. Through this latest book, Prof. Erantha De Mel shows how to practice positive emotional states on a daily basis in a realistic and a practical way.
