There exists a totally unknown system that codifies the very specific manner in which we think, feel and behave. It reveals the influence on us of planetary energies. The 12-Type Enneagram is completely original, and it reveals 12 planetary essence types. We all have every one of the type energies, but they exist in lesser or greater concentrations. Only one, though, is our essence type (not personality type). Unlike the 9-Type Enneagram, which concentrates on personality, the 12-Type Enneagram focuses on planetary essence types. There are 6 main types and 6 hybrid types, all of which are linked to a planet: Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Lunar. In The 12-Type Enneagram, Matthew Campling helps you identify your type via a series of questions and then provides a detailed explanation of each type. Sections include family, friends, work, sex, love and relationships, and how we can consciously develop using the system. The 12-Type Enneagram will help you: Understand why others are different from you Help you deal with problems Show you what to work on to improve your life Help resolve inner and outer conflict and more. Up till now this knowledge has been lost, or limited to esoteric schools of knowledge. Now it is available to us all.

Sheryl Sandberg's business advice book, Lean In, was heralded as a defining moment in attitudes to women in business. But for all its commercial success, it proposed a model of feminism that was individualistic and unthreatening to capital.In her powerful debut work Lean Out, acclaimed journalist Dawn Foster unpicks how the purportedly feminist message of Sandberg's book neatly exempts patriarchy, capitalism and business from any responsibility for changing the position of women in contemporary culture. It looks at the rise of a corporate ';1% feminism', and at how feminism has been defanged and depoliticised at a time when women have borne the brunt of the financial crash and the gap between rich and poor is widening faster than ever. Surveying business, media, culture and politics, Foster asks whether this ';trickledown' feminism offers any material gain for women collectively, or acts as mere window-dressing PR for the corporations who caused the financial crash. She concludes that ';leaning out' of the corporate model is a more effective way of securing change than leaning in.
