Strengthen Your Relationships with the Enneagram's Wisdom

Most of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners, with friends, or in the workplace. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others—and in ourselves.

In The Path Between Us, Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You

  • explains the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships
  • guides you into deeper insights about yourself, your type, and others' personalities, and
  • invites you to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram.

    • The Path Between Us explores questions like:

  • Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action?
  • Why do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else's feelings but their own and end up irritating people who don't want their help?
  • How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and restrained and distant other times?

    • The Enneagram not only answers these questions but gives a way out of the usual finger pointing and judging of other people—and finding them wanting, perplexing, or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do. This book will help you foster more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in your life.

        Stabile follows The Road Back to You (cowritten with Ian Cron) with this delightful relationship guide based on the Enneagram, an ancient Christian spiritual personality typology. Each of the nine personality types of the Enneagram has idiosyncrasies, strengths, and weaknesses; responds differently to stresses; and flourishes differently when it matures. Stabile’s sketches are intended to help readers understand each type’s quirks and preferences. For Stabile, using the Enneagram to understand and respond to behavior will lead to patient insight rather than snap judgment: “Looking through the lens of the Enneagram makes it possible to better understand ourselves and others, increase our acceptance and compassion, and navigate the paths between us.” Stabile marshals a lot of information, but her anecdotes and generalizations are never too abstract. “It is harder for a Nine to know who they are in a relationship than any other number,” she writes. “They seem to arrive on the planet with a desire to be unaffected by life.” She also helpfully uses the same subheadings (“the world of,” “stress and security,” “limitations,” and “the path together”) to organize content in each section. This concise book will be useful to Enneagram students wanting to go deeper and has application for organization managers interested in personality typologies.

        Taking a particularly novel approach to relationships, Stabile (The Road Back to You) employs enneagrams to help readers interpret individual ways of experiencing the world. Being familiar with a person's enneagram number (similar to a relationship style or Myers-Briggs indicator) and stance (aggressive, dependent, or withdrawing), one can relate to others more easily. Stabile explores each number in depth and how people with varying basic drives can work together in harmony and have compassion for one another. VERDICT A fascinating view into different ways of being.If asked what one desires most out of life, many would say meaning and happiness. The books reviewed here will help readers along that path, offering lessons in spiritual adventures and ways to worry less. Some of the tools explored are meditation, enneagrams, and tips for unplugging from social media. Positive relationships are always a frontrunner in a list of "wants," here issues of jealousy and divorce after 50 are thoroughly examined.
