Publisher's Summary

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 our professional lives. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others - and in ourselves.

This book from Suzanne Stabile on the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships will guide listeners into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and others' personalities so that they can have healthier, more life-giving relationships. No one is better equipped than the coauthor of The Road Back to You to share the Enneagram's wisdom on how relationships work - or don't.

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 us a way out of our 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 offers help in fostering more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in our lives.

Excellent primer for beginners and refresher for “experts”

My husband and I are both ordained clergy, and we’ve been studying the Enneagram through Suzanne’s trainings and workshops for three years. It’s an excellent source of spiritual and personal growth in our marriage and our ministries. This book is a great tool for revisiting the basic attributes of each number - but also provides the additional depth of understanding how different numbers relate to one another. We’ve enjoyed the review and benefited greatly from the fresh teachings found in this approachable text. We are currently introducing a new group to the Enneagram for the first time and we are highly recommending this book as they begin their journey toward deeper understanding of self and others.

Awesome insight!

As a couples coach, I loved this book! There is so much insight into how personalities mesh and flow. If you are in a relationship, I highly recommend this book to strengthen that connection! We wonder why our SO is the way they are; after reading this, you’ll know!

Beautiful!

This is such a wonderful book that shows the importance of having grace with others. It taught me how to understand and value those who are different than myself!

The perfect companion book!

This book gives a deeper look into each type and how to relate with one another which, I think, is what we are all looking for.
I was wrongly labeled a certain number on the enneagram by some well-meaning friends, but wasn’t convinced of their declaration,
After reading this book (after the first The Road Back to You), i truly discovered my core values and felt set free by the discovery of my number and wings on the enneagram.
I listened for my husband’s number and my children’s number and I feel like this is such a great tool for helping relate and communicate with each of each.

Awesome book based on the enugram which I hadn't heard of until the last couple of years. Fascinating and an audible you will breeze right through because you won't be able to put it down!

This book is a wonderful guide for learning how to communicate with each other through the teachings of the Enneagram. Suzanne's presentation not only explores how each person is different but how best to communicate with them to get the best out of each relationship.

Definitely buy the book and audiobook! ❤️👏👏

If you want to have better quality relationships with others, this is a great tool to start with. I have both the book and audiobook and I highly recommend you do the same! There are some extra tidbits in the audio version that are just gold and the book is nice so you can go back and study it further later! So great! 🙌

I found her focused on negatives instead of joyful, I'm a 5 on the enneagram

Perfect Crisis Reading: Gentle gifted wisdom from a master teacher

Having already read this book (hard copy), I downloaded the Audible version because I believed hearing Suz’s beloved voice would be a balm during these crazy covid days. So grateful. But Suzanne Stabile’s wealth of enneagram wisdom helps anyone striving to understand their own responses to this heartbreaking global crisis, whilst also providing valuable insight to understanding others’ responses (especially important if you are now confined in close quarters). Don’t pass this book up.

great book!

I love this book bc it opens you up to a world of different personality's and their view of the world. it's very helpful to learn what people need to be able to communicate better with them.
