Satisfaction and the Self-Preservation Eight

Part of a series of translations and close readings of Claudio Naranjo's seminal work on the Enneagram subtypes, 27 Personajes en Busca del Ser.

In this episode of the Barrcast, we explore the Self-Preservation Eight, whose passion is “satisfaction”—a need driven by survival and self-interest. Topics include: the lion-like nature of the Self-Preservation Eight, their pursuit of security and control; how they express strength through commanding loyalty; the reasons behind their instinct for protection and their rejection of love and the good. We examine the challenges the Eight faces in letting go of material and emotional control, and the transformative potential of embracing vulnerability and trust.
