Waste of time and money. The author's poor attempt at doing self expression writing in this book just to be different and cater to a younger audience was not helpful, but infact very distracting. Look elsewhere to read about the enneagram. There are FAR better books about it than this with way more information and less fluff.
Humorous in tone and written with an engaging dialogue that seems like it is a conversation with the author, Millenneagram is a self-help book that does not, as promised, take itself seriously. However, whilst the persona of the “author” and the self-deprecating humour made the book easy to engage with, the end chapters where she gives advice or a motivational prep speech often felt condescending. There were also a fair amount of pop culture references within the book, which often made me wonder how well the book would hold up against time. Overall, a book that was enjoyable but not one that made me feel like there were moments of revelation in regards to my inner-self.

i thought this was gonna be the first 5 star self help book ive ever read when i started, but the excessive slang thru out really started to wear me down and i had to drag myself across the finish line.
Bad language alert, although, since the author used my favorite swear word, I didn't mind much.
It was a fairly basic coverage of the nine types, with a brief discussion of the 27 subtypes. What worked for me was the casual register in which the book was written. It was less like a typical--and sometimes dull--explanation of the topic, and more like a friend having a heart-to-heart discussion with the reader.
I didn't learn anything new about the enneagram, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.

I enjoyed this cussing filled romp into the enneagram. She dishes it all out as if she is sitting across the table from you sharing her knowledge and stories and opinions. I do not agree with some of her non enneagram opinions, but it did not affect my enjoyment.
Being completely new to the enneagram concept, I had some difficulty following. I also had difficulty trying to "place" myself using the short quiz provided in the beginning of the book. I will have to read at least another book on this topic before I feel "enlightened". I did like the author's breezy style!
Way too vulgar for me. I would rate lower but she had incredible insights into each types.
So, full disclosure - I am a former enneagram zealot turned cynic. But, at the urging of a trusted friend I picked this up for some much needed reflection. If you are anti-personality typing, this would not get you four stars - but it is far less gooey than most of its kind. I liked that it offered extremely concrete, relatable examples. I am not usually a fan of overly colloquial "millennial-friendly" language (see my less than thrilled review of UnF--- Your Brain), but I think that the author's style here was actually incredibly genuine and approachable. So, for what it is, I'd say it's pretty darn good.
Despite apparently being written by Al Swearingen's daughter, this was a very helpful, fascinating, and practical approach to the enneagram. The chapter on 4s made me feel seen. Highly recommended.
