Dear reader: what’s your Enneagram type and how does it shape how you travel?

Katie, another really fun and creative post! I'm an 8, but only identify with the first part of the description because I'd LOVE if someone else took the lead!

Fun aside - I first learned about the Enneagram at my first job as a psychologist in a federal prison. I found an Enneagram book in the inmate library and made all the other psychs in the department take it too. It was a hilarious afternoon!

Thank you so much for reading, Maria! 8s are some of my favourite people—especially women!

I love this story! Do you remember which book it was?

Oh, I don't even remember what the cover of the book looked like, let alone the author! Do you have any favorite Enneagram resources you'd recommend?

I think the most comprehensive book is Richard Rohr’s. It’s a great resource—more of a guide rather than a cover-to-cover read. It’s really long! But, once you read it, you’ll know SO much about the Enneagram. There really aren’t too many accessible books on it, since it has a history as an oral tradition. I wish there were more I’d recommend, but I expect there will be more as it continues to gain popularity!
