As we celebrate the launch of the new Enneagram Monthly online this month, we bring you a blend of fresh, never-before-published articles that continue the discussions initiated in recent editions of EM. In our pursuit of providing enhanced exposure to important articles, we are experimenting with a “Front Page” format. The lead article, once posted, transitions to the “recently posted” position when the next lead article is published. While we refine and adjust these details, please bear with us, and check in frequently as we may need to change new articles to ensure optimal exposure.

Due to the backlog of articles in the pipeline, we offer a quick overview of what’s already posted in February, along with a glimpse of upcoming articles slated for release before March.

This month, we extend a warm welcome to our legacy readers whose subscriptions were cut short during the transition to a new platform. We acknowledge the testing and adjustment phase of our new platform and appreciate your patience. We ask for your forgiveness as we fine-tune processes and address technical issues in the coming months. Our decision not to delay any longer is driven by the belief that perfection should not become the enemy of progress.
