The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram is a model of the human psyche which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types.

The book wants to guide the reader through the process of using the Enneagram tool to discover personality types and use the information for self-improvement. Each of the six chapters takes on different aspects of the Enneagram and its uses. It starts by explaining the Enneagram in detail and moves on to the practical application. Since the Enneagram does have some psychological roots, there are brief sections that examine various scientific theories.

The main goal of the book, however, is to apply it to self-understanding and improving quality of life.

This book includes:

• A comprehensive break down of the nine Enneagram types, including strengths and weaknesses and examples of famous Types 1-9
• A couple of different methods to use in ascertaining your personality type
• A brief look into self-understanding (defining what "self" is, psychological theories, and how to use the Enneagram to understand "self" better)
• A section on emotional intelligence and how to use the enneagram model to improve EQ (it also includes some psychological theories and explanations to define emotional intelligence better)
• A chapter on understanding others using the Enneagram (the majority of the book, up to this point, is geared towards the self - this is most useful after taking the quiz because it deals directly with the Enneagram types and how they relate to other models in work, personal, and romantic relationships)
• A final chapter on actual integration of what was learned throughout the book: how to build stronger relationships, how to grow spiritually, and how to deal with our own brokenness in order to heal our relationships with others

This book contains a lot of information, from scientific to emotional, objective to subjective. It is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to know more about the Enneagram and how to use it to enhance their personal lives in every aspect.
