The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships by Suzanne Stabile is a comprehensive guide to understanding the Enneagram and using it to improve interpersonal relationships. The book offers insights into the nine distinct personality types, their motivations, and how they interact with others.
Understanding the Enneagram
The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that categorizes people into nine distinct types.
Each type has its own set of motivations, fears, and desires that drive their behavior and affect their relationships.
Type Eight: The Challenger
Eights are powerful and assertive, driven by a desire to protect themselves and control their own life.
They fear being harmed or controlled by others.
Type Nine: The Peacemaker
Nines are accepting and supportive, seeking peace and harmony.
They desire to have inner and outer peace, and fear conflict and tension.
Understanding Others’ Perspectives
Understanding the Enneagram can help us see the world from others’ perspectives, leading to more empathetic and compassionate relationships.
