Goodreads: Pronounced ENN-EE-UH-GRAM, stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the Enneagram is a centuries-old categorization tool that classifies human personalities into nine interconnected personality types. It is a powerful tool for self-observation, maximizing your strengths, and improving your relationships.

Kritters Thoughts: I am and have been for a long time a huge fan of the "personality type" genre of books and learning devices. I love when I can learn more about myself and how I relate to others who are alike and different from me.
I have read a few books about Enneagram and by far this one has become a favorite of mine. The way they lay out how they will describe each type and the detail on each type is just outstanding. I love that within each type they start with a generalization about the personality behind the type and then show positives and negatives and then the things that each type should do for self care. This for me was of course interesting to read about my type, but was even more enjoyable for the types that are different from me. I almost appreciated the chapters that I didn't define as myself more than the ones that hit close to home!
I would recommend taking an enneagram test before reading this book, so you know your type and you can read all the chapters to see how you relate to each type, but really find the details about your own type.
Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel
