A Scientist and a Philosopher | An Enneagram Discussion

About this episode

Jeff and Dr. Sam E. Greenberg discuss the Enneagram's intersection of philosophy and psychology, addressing skepticism and the nature of truth.

Jeff and Dr. Sam E. Greenberg take a thoughtful look at the Enneagram’s place between philosophy and psychology, exploring skepticism, meaning, and what it really means for something to be “true.” Their conversation moves through questions of evidence, face validity, and the tension between data-driven frameworks and the lived reality of transformation.
