Strengthening Your Relationships with the Enneagram's WisdomMost 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 othersand in ourselves.This book from Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You will:- Explain the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships- Guide readers into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and others' personalities, and- Open readers up to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram.This book will explore questions like: 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 peopleand 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.
