The questions are geared toward helping you assess your type. There are questions based on the three triads (8-9-1, 2-3-4, 5-6-7). There’s also a strong emphasis on recognizing where my type can be detrimental and how to find grace and balance for myself.
I feel like this book gave me enough information to start figuring out my “type.” But it also gives me insight into others. It is full of underlining and highlighting now! Originally, I was reading a copy from the library, but I got so drawn into the material, I knew I needed my own copy. There are some hilarious stories and examples. This is a fantastic book! The writing is conversational. This book introduces the general idea of the Enneagram, describing the 9 types in simple to understand terms. A theory that would provide not only personal insights but a spiritual component as well. I started to wonder if I was ready to tackle a new personality theory. Then The Road Back to You released last fall. But its numbers instead of letters and star-like diagram made no sense to me. As a fan of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, I had heard about the Enneagram before. Beginning with changes you can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help take you further along into who you really are―leading you into places of spiritual discovery you would never have found on your own, and paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you want to become.An Introduction to the Enneagram. Not only will you learn more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world through other people's eyes, understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do. Witty and filled with stories, this book allows you to peek inside each of the nine Enneagram types, keeping you turning the pages long after you have read the chapter about your own number. In The Road Back to You Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile forge a unique approach―a practical, comprehensive way of accessing Enneagram wisdom and exploring its connections with Christian spirituality for a deeper knowledge of ourselves, compassion for others, and love for God. Do you want help figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts? The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships―and even keep you in the shallows with God. Ignorance is bliss―except in self-awareness.
