In fact, after doing some more research afterward, I found that many non-Christian psychologists and researchers use this personality typing. This book is Christian-based, which I loved, yet it's not overly religious.

And I found myself identifying very closely with the '5' personality type with a little '4' thrown in (what the Enneagram calls a '5 with a 4 wing'). Immediately I recognized my husband as a '3' - The Performer. Meaning, you see a little of yourself in all personality types. I went into this book with a fair measure of skepticism, and thought it would be like most other personality self-help books. Beginning with changes you can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help you get on the road that will 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.Ĭrazy enough, I had no idea what an Enneagram even was nor had I ever heard of it (surprising, once I learned I was a '5' LOL). 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 God and of ourselves.įunny and filled with stories, this book allows you to understand more about each of the Enneagram types, keeping you from pausing long after you have heard the chapter about yourself. The Enneagram is an ancient personality type system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. Do you want help figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts? It can also keep you in the shallows with God. What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships - and maybe even how you make your way in the world. Ignorance is bliss - except in self-awareness.
