The Enneagram Type 4: The Romantic Individualist by Beth McCord, Emily P. Freeman

This was great! I loved the chance to journal and reflect. Unfortunately I was too lazy to journal regularly so it took me forever to finish this book, but other than that, I found it rather cathartic. Would love to incorporate more journaling literature into my reading habits. This kind of reflection is good for the soul. It'll also be great to look back on this later to get an idea of where my head was at in this period of my life.

For a quick overview, it’s fine, but if you are looking to really dive into your number, this isn’t it.

I really wish I had known this book was so Christian-forward. Instead of opening myself up and being able to pour out my heart/feelings in the Journaling exercises, I felt blocked, triggered, and misunderstood. I'm currently going through a faith transition/deconstruction, so this book was very unhelpful and made my defenses go way up instead of bringing them down.

Too basic as I’ve read a lot about the enneagram already. Was hoping for a deeper dive.

This book scratches the surface of the different aspects of your Enneagram type. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a 4, but it definitely could’ve gone deeper.

The thing I did like was the prompting question section at the end of each chapter. It definitely left room for reflection, which has been helpful.

Definitely recommend whether you think you’re sure you’re a 4 or are trying to figure it out.

Really good if you're just looking for a primer on how the enneagram + type 4 works. Not good for deeper dives, especially held against the other books I've read.
