In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Joseph Howell, a psychologist and author of the revolutionary new book, "Know Your Soul: Journeying with the Enneagram." Dr. Howell shared insights from his personal journey and professional experiences, emphasizing the importance of understanding our souls in addition to our personalities.
Dr. Howell explained how the Enneagram, an ancient wisdom system, has profoundly influenced his life and work. He discussed the distinction between the ego and the soul, highlighting that while our ego helps us navigate the world, it can also distract us from our true essence. The soul, according to Dr. Howell, is focused on love, compassion, and connection, which are essential for healing and personal growth.
We explored the concept of the "soul child," the pure and innocent part of ourselves that exists before the ego takes over. Dr. Howell emphasized the need to reconnect with this aspect of ourselves to lead more fulfilling lives. He also addressed the book's target audience—those seeking inner peace and improved relationships—and how it can serve as a valuable resource for leaders looking to influence others positively.
Throughout our conversation, Dr. Howell's passion for helping others understand their souls shone through. He believes that by doing so, we can foster deeper connections and create a more compassionate world. I encourage listeners to check out "Know Your Soul," available on platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and to visit the Institute for Conscious Being's website for more resources.
