The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile
238 pages / 9 hrs, 17 mins
"Ignorance is bliss - except in self-awareness. What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships - and maybe even how you make your way in the world. It can also keep you in the shallows with God. Do you want help figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts?
"The Enneagram is an ancient personality type system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. [The authors]...forge a unique approach - a practical, comprehensive way of accessing Enneagram wisdom and exploring its connections with Christian spirituality for a deeper knowledge of God and of ourselves.
"Funny and filled with stories, this book allows you to understand more about each of the Enneagram types, keeping you from pausing long after you have heard the chapter about yourself. Beginning with changes you can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help you get on the road that will take you further along into who you really are - leading you into places of spiritual discovery you would never have found on your own, and paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you want to become." --from the publisher
It's been a long time since I read a great self-help book. This was excellent! It was well-written and readable, with insightful concepts and outstanding practical advice. I plan to purchase a copy and keep it for reference. Maybe there would be more compassion in our world if all of us extended grace to people with different personality types.
