"John Luckovich does not beat around the bush and lets us know right away that the material in this book is explicitly for inner work and soul development. And with great eloquence and patience, he unpacks this potentially complex material in a way that makes it understandable and relevant. While there are a number of teachers working in this area who have my love and respect, I dare say there is no one in the world who has spent more time contemplating the meaning and context of this material than John."- from the foreword, written by Russ Hudson, author, The Wisdom of the EnneagramThe Enneagram is a profound tool for self-observation and inner work. While there are plenty of resources on the topic, most Enneagram literature is largely limited to entry-level descriptions of the Nine Types. The Instinctual Drives and the Enneagram focuses on a crucial but misunderstood facet of the Enneagram Typology--our "animal" Instinctual Drives and how they are related to our spiritual nature.While nearly every school of thought on the Enneagram acknowledges the importance and role of the Instinctual Drives, there''s a deep lack of understanding what they actually are, the role they play in personality, and most importantly, their implications for inner work. This book achieves, for the first time, a coherent theory of the instinctual drives based in biology, evolution, and developmental psychology, and it paves the way toward a more accurate view of inner work that directly addresses our animal nature. In so doing, it turns our current understanding of the Enneagram on its head by showing that the personality does not exist in parallel with our instinctual drives, but in reaction to them. In other words, instinct comes first - and one''s Enneagram type is nothing more or less than a strategy to fulfill instinctual needs. This clarified orientation has important implications for our spiritual development, self-remembrance, and the transformation of our personhood into a conduit of Essence.

"My Emerald Isles" is a heartfelt tale that unfolds against the backdrop of Ireland's lush landscapes. In this enchanting story, an elderly man seeks solace on the serene shores of Inis Eala after the loss of his beloved wife. Alone except for his faithful dog, his days of solitude take an unexpected turn when he encounters a group of orphaned siblings.The Irish sun, its golden rays dancing on the water's surface, heralded the start of another serene morning on the tranquil island of Inis Eala. At the heart of this picturesque landscape lived Seamus, an elderly man whose weathered hands and kind eyes told stories of a life fully lived. For years, Seamus had become a fixture on the island's shores, a figure as familiar as the rhythmic crash of waves against the rocky beach.Waking at dawn, Seamus would set off with his old dog, Bród, his only steadfast companion. With a well-worn bucket and a tattered net slung over his shoulder, he made his way to the shoreline where the ebb and flow of the tides had painted the beach with a myriad of treasures. The soft crunch of sand beneath his boots and the distant cries of gulls formed the backdrop of his solitude.Each morning, Seamus would stoop low, his fingers gently teasing mussels from their sandy beds. The shells, gleaming in a tapestry of iridescent blues and greens, seemed to echo the vibrant beauty of the emerald isle itself. As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Seamus would move along the beach, his gaze fixed on the ground, searching for the most delicate and intricate shells, each one a testament to the island's rich history.But beneath the calm exterior, there was a palpable ache in Seamus' heart, a grief that had settled in after the passing of his beloved wife, Moira. They had shared a lifetime of love and laughter, weathering life's storms together, until she was called away by the sea's gentle whisper. Since her departure, Seamus had unwittingly become a castaway of his own, his once vibrant interactions with the island's close-knit community replaced by a silence that seemed to stretch on forever.Bród, his faithful canine companion, had become his confidant, a source of solace in a world that felt both empty and heavy with memories. Their days were spent in a shared solitude, wandering the shores and cliffs, accompanied only by the echoing cries of seagulls and the distant murmur of the waves.The island, known for its friendly pubs and warm-hearted people, had extended its arms to Seamus in his time of need. Yet, he had withdrawn, the grief rendering him a silent observer of life passing him by. And so, he found solace in the symphony of the sea, the rhythmic cadence of his daily rituals, and the company of his loyal Bród.Little did Seamus know that the tides of fate were preparing to shift, bringing unexpected changes that would ripple through the tranquil surface of his existence and lead him on a journey of rediscovery, connection, and a renewed love.
