Final Enneagram of Death
Final Enneagram of Death
Photo by E. Wagele
Dear Reader,
Two months ago doctors found tumors in my appendix, liver, and a lymph node. Also 3 tiny ones in my lungs. A week ago cancer was also found in my
brain. Radiation and steroids help the symptoms. I will choose compassionate choice [death].
Do 5’s experience neurological issues?? I have neuroendocrine sarcoma.
I miss all my fans.

Part I of Gen Adderall (my January 24 blog on WordPress), featured studies on the effects of this drug. Part II is the story of author Casey Schwartz’ personal experiences with it, as she writes in the NY Times 10-12-16. This is a short, edited version of her story:
* I was one of the millions of Americans to be prescribed a stimulant medication (Adderall) for a decade. I would…

This blog is taken from Casey Schwartz’ article in the NY Times of 10-12-16. I have edited and shortened it:
Adderall is the brand name for a mixture of amphetamine salts prescribed to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a neurobehavioral condition marked by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, predominantly seen in children. That condition (also Attention…

Are 5-Observers in the Enneagram Always Objective?
Photo by E. Wagele
Objectivity means being unbiased, even-handed, open-minded and impartial. It’s impossible to be objective if emotions or strong opinions get in the way of the facts.
Some 5s (often INTPs or INTJs) live mostly in their heads and pick the most proven and factual reasons for making choices. Since facts are of prime importance, the feeling side of life is often unfamiliar and thus…

Is the gap narrowing between high- & low-income kids?
Drawing by E. Wagele from “finding the Birthday Cake”
The following is a shortened and edited version of a New York Times article:
In the fall of 1998 and again in 2010, the National Center for Education Statistics sent early childhood assessors to 1,000 public and private kindergartens to measure their reading and math skills. They asked children to identify shapes and colors, count, identify…

Leonard Cohen: Enneagram Type 4, 5 Wing
Leonard Cohen: Enneagram Type 4, 5 Wing
Drawing by Elizabeth Wagele
Singer-poet-novelist-songwriter Leonard Cohen died in November at age 82. He had soulful, brooding eyes and a low, unusual voice that became lower with age. His life was devoted to freedom, searching, roaming, protesting, and women. He wrote philosophically about politics, social justice, peace, and love.
He came from a prosperous Jewish family who built a synagogue in…

Have Trouble Sleeping at Night?
Have Trouble Sleeping at Night?
Elizabeth Wagele cartoon from “Are You My Type, Am I Yours?”
If no one has already, I hope someone will make a study of how the 9 Enneagram types do when it comes to sleeping.
I’ve never had a major problem with sleep – except for one 6-week period after open-heart surgery, when my heart fibrillated for many weeks, beating twice its normal speed. I couldn’t calm down enough to sleep because of…

Can Laws Reduce Gun Violence?
Can Laws Reduce Gun Violence?
On 10-11-16 Eric Lichtblau wrote in the N. Y. Times, “A growing body of evidence from academics, advocacy groups and others supports the link between gun restrictions and a reduction in violence.”
Here are some of his main points:
Gun fatalities in states with weaker laws are more than three times as high as in those states with tougher restrictions, including background checks or permits.

What Causes Childhood and Teen Suicide?
What Causes Childhood and Teen Suicide?
Drawing by E. Wagele
The causes of suicide among the young are complicated. A.D.D., depression, and recent conflicts or crises are all being investigated. And what are the options for parents, teachers, and other adults to best relate to children they are concerned about? Catherine Saint Louis wrote a New York Times article 9-19-16: More Child Suicides Are Linked to A.D.D. Than Depression, Study…

Teenagers and Defiance – a New Approach
Teenagers and Defiance – a New Approach
E. Wagele from The Enneagram for Teens
When I was a teenager I hung out with a group of friends who were mostly introverts, highly liberal, and nonconformists. We weren’t risk-taking and we weren’t interested in winning popularity contests. We liked learning and did fairly well in school.
We were idealistic and interested in justice. We didn’t need to rebel much, maybe because we and most of our…

Alternative Care for Those Who Hear Voices
Drawing by E. Wagele
Supporting the severely mentally ill is difficult. In many cases treatments haven’t worked or haven’t worked well. About three quarters of people put on a medication for psychosis stop taking it within 18 months because of side effects or other issues. Sufferers may end up homeless or in prison. When hospitalization, therapy and medications haven’t succeeded, some have turned…

Lou Hoffman died in July at age 93. Though he had a fortune from the Hoffman-LaRoche pharmaceutical company his grandfather had founded, he was modest and didn’t flaunt his wealth. In fact, he drove a Fiat Panda and stayed in hostels. At Tour du Valat his four children were brought up with the children of the estate workers, and were told their grandfather had a “chemist’s…

Poet Geoffrey Hill, A 4-Romantic in the Enneagram
9 Kinds of Reapers – by Elizabeth Wagele
On July 30, 2016, the Economistran an obituary for poet Geoffrey Hill. He sounds to me like a type 4 in the Enneagram, the Romantic personality. He fell in love with poetry at the age of ten. His first year as a student at Oxford was miserable. He had few friends, and suffered from “savage melancholia.” Later he taught at Leeds, Cambridge, Boston, and then…

An article in the San Francisco Chronicle by Spencer Whitney (Restorative justice: turning lives around)7-10-16, talks about Berkeley Tech Academy Principal Sheila Quintana, who established a restorative justice system at the school. This method of dealing with problems is much more positive than shutting students out of school, which can send them into a cycle of falling…
