Summary

"An Outstanding book that offers precise steps to take to wake up to the self-limiting habits of your personality, get out of your own way, and give yourself the gift of accessing more of your higher – more authentic – self。" —Ian Cron, author of The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery

A fresh approach to the Enneagram that encourages readers to embark on their own hero’s journey for transformation。

This is a personal transformation book rooted in the wisdom of the Enneagram system of personality types。 It is a book about waking up and growing into the best version of yourself。 It is a book that shows you how to discover who you are and what you can be。 It is a book about finding your path, facing your shadow, and discovering your true self。

It is a good news–bad news–good news story。 The good news: you survived childhood。 The bad news: in order to grow, you are going to experience some pain。 The really good news: you can use your negative habits as a springboard to move beyond them。 With a commitment to self-observation and reflection, you can develop greater self-awareness and open yourself up to a life filled with exciting choices and opportunities。
Each of the nine chapters includes these features:
The problematic perspective, the process of self-discovery, and the path forward for that type
How the main issues for that type get played out in 3 different ways—the 3 distinct sub-types of the main type (necessary for pinpoint accuracy in describing your personality and your path of growth)
Chestnut and Paes, two leading Enneagram teachers, frame this approach to personality types in a way that is accessible, practical, and filled with possibility。

I’ve long been a fan of personality profiles for the way they help us identify our strengths and natural tendencies to help us reach our full potential。 They can be useful tools for both personal and professional growth, and help us not only understand ourselves but those around us。 And one of the best personality profiles I’ve found is the Enneagram。-‘The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up’ is one of the best introductory enneagram books I’ve read。 It does a wonderful job of defining what the enneagr I’ve long been a fan of personality profiles for the way they help us identify our strengths and natural tendencies to help us reach our full potential。 They can be useful tools for both personal and professional growth, and help us not only understand ourselves but those around us。 And one of the best personality profiles I’ve found is the Enneagram。-‘The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up’ is one of the best introductory enneagram books I’ve read。 It does a wonderful job of defining what the enneagram is, the nine personality types, three centers of intelligence, and three subtypes in a manner that is straightforward and succinct, then dives into specific details on each personality type。 Not only is it informative, but it is also one of the most practical enneagram books I’ve read, giving readers specific ways they can apply their learning to their everyday lives。-This book is written from a secular perspective without feeling too academic, and the language was easy to read。 The only thing I didn’t love was the zombie metaphor that was used throughout as a way of suggesting that we aren’t fully “alive” if we are left in the dark about our true self。 While I get the attempt at bridging the enneagram to something widely understood in pop-culture, I felt the connection fell a bit flat。 -All in all, if you’re interested in the enneagram and want a comprehensive, yet easy to read, introduction to it, this book would be a good place to start。-Thank you to @kayepublicity and @redwheelbooks for a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Great source for othersHi, type 5 here。 I'm pretty sure that will sum up the whole reason why it has two stars, but I will go a little deeper。Being this type, a lot of individuals assume that I want something that I never wanted or understood。 While I appreciate the attempts to make me a "human," the fact is I never cared enough to prove myself to anyone else。If you are looking for the spiritual side of the Enneagram and aren't angling for a specific belief, then this is the book for you。Type 5, Great source for othersHi, type 5 here。 I'm pretty sure that will sum up the whole reason why it has two stars, but I will go a little deeper。Being this type, a lot of individuals assume that I want something that I never wanted or understood。 While I appreciate the attempts to make me a "human," the fact is I never cared enough to prove myself to anyone else。If you are looking for the spiritual side of the Enneagram and aren't angling for a specific belief, then this is the book for you。Type 5, signing off! 。。。more

I have degrees up to doctorate and many certifications but their courses out sign all othersThis is by far the best team and school teaching Enneagram in 21st century。 Other schools did great things in past but Bea and Uranio provide an evolving program that is always getting better。A key topic is becoming awake。 Enneagram can change lives。 Thanks for your gifted scholarship。

I was looking forward to reading this book for several months and read it on the first day it was released。Since I thought it was a sequel to Chestnut's earlier book 'The Complete Enneagram', I thought this one was going to go even more in-depth and something that's definitely not for those who encounter the Enneagram for the first time。 Or maybe contain more spiritual languages。。 But no。 Bea and Uranio introduce this book as an 'introductory book' and it is just that!While it's written in plain I was looking forward to reading this book for several months and read it on the first day it was released。Since I thought it was a sequel to Chestnut's earlier book 'The Complete Enneagram', I thought this one was going to go even more in-depth and something that's definitely not for those who encounter the Enneagram for the first time。 Or maybe contain more spiritual languages。。 But no。 Bea and Uranio introduce this book as an 'introductory book' and it is just that!While it's written in plain and easy language, the insight and wisdom it contains are no less valuable or serious than The Complete Enneagram。Personally, I feel the narrative is very warm, encouraging and empowering the readers to take on the growth journey while not withholding or sugarcoating anything。Since The Complete Enneagram already did a groundbreaking job at describing each type's early experience and each subtype's attributes, this one focuses more on growth - and I personally prefer this book to the growth part of the Complete Enneagram。 Description of each subtype's shadow has also helped me to understand myself so much better。What I can say about the Enneagram is that each door that opens up to learning more about who I am came as such a consolation and gift。 Very much looking forward to what I will discover as I (will probably) read and re-read this book several times。 。。。more

[I received an print review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。]5 stars = OutstandingFantastic new Enneagram resource!
