For anyone looking to improve or change themselves, I would highly recommend reading this book and learning about your childhood self. This book has been a literal God send to my family. I am excited to continue to dive in and discover more about myself, and use this knowledge and discovery to become my best self.

Summary: This nonfiction work explores the personality discovery tool known as the Enneagram. It looks at 9 different personality types, explores the strengths, weaknesses, and “deadly sin” of each, and offers the reader help in living more successfully within his or her personality type within a Christian framework.

This book is a great tool to help you become a better friend, family member, and member of the community at large.

I don't know how, to my knowledge, I had never heard of an enneagram before my therapist suggested this book. I first began to understand, not only my own personality, but the nuances of how other personalities experience life through 16 Personalities. That test taught me two things. 1) It helped me to recognize and express how I feel and view the world 2) Not everyone experiences life the same way I do. But 16 Personalities tells you your strengths and weaknesses and then says, "This is you. Good luck." The enneagram allows you to identify a healthy vs unhealthy you, as well as a stressed vs a secure you. Cron goes even further and give 10 things each personality can work on to become a better version of their self.

Though this book is not overly religious, there is definitely a spiritual connection.

This book has created my deep and stimulating conversation between family and friends.

EXCELLENT READ. If you’re at all interested in enneagrams, this is the best book I’ve read about it. There’s no quiz, but rather it digs in deep to each number and allows you to figure out where you truly fit in.
