Deborah lays out the background and possibilities in the healing of “othering” while also providing an excellent introduction to the Enneagram. Doing this all in one book is no small feat! More importantly, she lays out how the methods of inner work are crucial for doing social justice work and racial healing, and how our awakening demands our participation in the healing of the world. – Russ Hudson, co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram

While many have cautioned Dr. Deborah Egerton not to highlight the issues of IDEA with the Enneagram, she’s elected to bravely expose all the reasons why it has to happen now. The exploratory dimensions of Enneagram combined with viewing the constructs of race and “other”-isms lead us to unimaginable levels of healing. Her book serves as a light to guide us through the journey using these two lenses. Dr. Egerton serves as the Enneagram harbinger for our times; for this, we are grateful. – Erlina Edwards, board president of The Narrative Enneagram

In KNOW JUSTICE, KNOW PEACE, Dr. Egerton leads us to understand why we must examine how we came to ingest life experiences that led us to negatively see members of the human family; we say, “you’re different than me.” Journeying through the Enneagram, we see how “othering” has created near permanent mindsets. We’re directed to realize that if we stay with these confined beliefs, the outcome for our families and world is perilous.
This work expressively uses the value of Enneagram levels of development to help us recognize how the darkness hides within our type structures. Othering destroys all that is precious. It brings illness and division and feeds hatred.
Through many personal stories, this book validates why The Enneagram is the elixir tool for this specific topic, “othering.” She re-titles those souls deeply marginalized by othering as “Love Warriors,” describing how we keep our fractured society in place. Yet, she offers so much wisdom on how, by utilizing the Enneagram, we can end supporting these conditions within ourselves and our world. There is a gentle healing approach to the work within these thoughtfully written pages. Dr. Egerton seeks to cultivate communities asking us all to undo societal injustices. All while reminding us throughout the book that only LOVE can transform us. Simply a must-read. – Erlina Edwards, board president, The Narrative Enneagram
