I am indebted to several individuals for my knowledge of the
Enneagram system. None of us would know the Enneagram sys-
tem of personality as we currently do without the seminal work of
Claudio Naranjo, who brought the Enneagram to northern Cali-
fornia in the 1970s after having worked with Oscar Ichazo in South
America. I am further indebted to Claudio for his full-hearted sup-
port of my work in using the Enneagram in organizations. My first
Enneagram teachers, Helen Palmer and David Daniels, provided
me with an excellent foundation. In addition, I have been influ-
enced by the work of Don Riso and Russ Hudson, Kathy Hurley
and Theodorre Donson, Tom Condon, and Jerry Wagner.
My personal thanks to my brother, Martin Snapp, who has
always believed in me; to my assistant and friend, Natalie Toy; and
especially to my 15-year-old son, Tres Bogda, who asks me daily,
“How’s the writing going?”
Finally, my appreciation to Jane Roberts and Muriel Nellis, my
literary agents at Creative and Literary Artists, Inc., for their excel-
lent guidance, and to Donya Dickerson, my insightful editor at
McGraw-Hill.
