Ok, this was the most informative, well explained, descriptive knowledge base about enneagram I have ever read so far. I never really got into enneagram before that much, mainly because I disliked the bias some of the online communities have, that if you're an INFP you're most probably a 4w5. And if you're definitely sure you're a 5w4, then you're a mistyped INTP. Seriously! INFP descriptions fit me perfectly and though I get that a lot of INFPs are 4w5, I'm not. I always felt that I was a 5 and not a 4 and this book explains each type so well. So you know, maybe I have a Four wing, but I'm definitely a five. And that part about each type's cognitive mistakes and traps, that was awesome. I also loved the explanation of the three instinctual variants of each type. This just made it firm for me that I'm a 5w4 with sp/sx variant rather than a 4w5 with a so variant. Thank you Beatrice.

This is an incredibly thorough walk through the enneagram. I will admit that I skimmed most of the book and focused mainly on my number, but I definitely plan to reread the whole thing again and again. So much insight into myself and those I do life with.

Great in-depth descriptions of the subtypes of each Ennegram number, as well as suggestions for growth/action, for those who want to delve a little deeper.

So much rich information in this book. I was intrigued to find out more about the subtypes and this book gave me just the details I’d been craving!
