Book excerpt: WHAT PERSONALITY TYPE ARE YOU?Nine Perfect Petals: The Enneagram for Flower Gardeners brings readers on a spirited, informative journey to answer that question, following the Enneagram personality typology through the lens of flower gardening. The ancient system of the Enneagram describes nine distinct personas, each reflecting a core, divine quality that connect and differentiate us as fellow humans. In her witty and well-researched prose, Dr. Angela Rosenberg uses gardening practices and particular flowers to help readers know and appreciate the nine types. Chapters detail characteristics, strengths, challenges, and pathways for individuals to grow and become more resourceful. Additionally, she offers practical advice for avoiding common pitfalls that often operate unconsciously. Flower meanings and essences are suggested as another flower-power mechanism to achieve well-being.Thought-provoking quotes and beautiful, original drawings make this book a must for any reader interested in the Enneagram, and for every gardener who seeks to understand their own personality-and blossom. Eminently sharable, you'll want all your family, friends, and coworkers to discover their types.
Download or read book The Perfect Nine written by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling, genre-defying novel in verse from the author Delia Owens says “tackles the absurdities, injustices, and corruption of a continent” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s novels and memoirs have received glowing praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, the New Yorker, the New York Times Book Review, The Guardian, and NPR; he has been a finalist for the Man International Booker Prize and is annually tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature; and his books have sold tens of thousands of copies around the world. In his first attempt at the epic form, Ngũgĩ tells the story of the founding of the Gĩkũyũ people of Kenya, from a strongly feminist perspective. A verse narrative, blending folklore, mythology, adventure, and allegory, The Perfect Nine chronicles the efforts the Gĩkũyũ founders make to find partners for their ten beautiful daughters—called “The Perfect Nine” —and the challenges they set for the 99 suitors who seek their hands in marriage. The epic has all the elements of adventure, with suspense, danger, humor, and sacrifice. Ngũgĩ’s epic is a quest for the beautiful as an ideal of living, as the motive force behind migrations of African peoples. He notes, “The epic came to me one night as a revelation of ideals of quest, courage, perseverance, unity, family; and the sense of the divine, in human struggles with nature and nurture.”
