In this 2024 conversation with Travis Gen Sebera, Hudson explores the ancient wisdom of the Enneagram, a profound system that illuminates the nine distinct ways human beings perceive and interact with the world. He guides us through the transformative power of this significant framework, revealing how it can foster self-awareness, empathy, and personal growth. He also shares insights from his decades of studying and sharing the Enneagram, offering a unique pathway to living more authentic and fulfilling lives. "For me, the art of life is learning to let what is awake in me touch and be touched by what is awake in the other rather than letting what is asleep in me be annoyed by what is asleep in the other." Russ Hudson is the author of:

• The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth For The And Nine Personality Types (coauthor with Don Richard Riso) (Bantam Books 1999)
• The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence (Sounds True 2021)
