Summary
A few months ago, I asked you to send me questions you have about the enneagram on Instagram. You guys went hard. So we’re going to talk about it in two parts over the course of the summer. Today’s episode covers the basics of knowing your type, how to figure out what type you are, and how the enneagram is a tool to becoming a truer version of yourself.
Resources You May Find Helpful
- The Enneagram Institute is hands-down the best resource on the Internet about the enneagram. If you don’t know your type, start by reading the type descriptions on this website to begin ruling out what type you aren’t.
- This episode of The Liturgists podcast is a few years old, but you guys, it’s so good. The hosts talk to Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile, the authors of The Road Back to You.
- Speaking of The Road Back to You, that is the best place to get your feet wet if you want to start reading a book about it.
- If you’ve finished The Road Back to You, and you’re looking for more personal growth, I’d recommend The Sacred Enneagram by Chris Heuertz. It is my personal favorite of the bunch.
- And if you’re wanting more of a textbook experience, check out The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut.
- I’m taking a summer break for the next few weeks, so there won’t be an Instagram LIVE this Thursday. Don’t forget about our thriving community over on Facebook. I’ll be back with new episodes on July 22.
