The book was well designed with an interesting format and bright colors. That’s about all the good I can say. Unfortunately, the few nuggets of interesting content were lost in a barrage of “f-bombs” (at least one every other page) and liberal sprinklings of “sh*t,” obscure cultural references and rambling colloquial phrases. Also, while the enneagram is gender neutral, this book is focused squarely at a female audience. The author seems to think that “b*tch and b*tches” are appropriate pronouns for women. This is really disappointing for a female writer. How can you expect others to respect you when you can’t respect yourself? I’m only keeping this book around in case any of my millennial clients reference it. Then I can look up what they’re talking about and correct any mis-information.

Who: A foul-mouthed, self-identified queer millennial.

What: An overview of the enneagram personality trait system, which explains people’s tendencies based on the structure of their character.

When: This is a non-fiction book with some historical explanation of how the enneagram has developed through time.

Where: Whenever, wherever (though Pasch does bring a distinctive exvangelical flavor to this interpretation).

How: Paasch describes each of the nine personality types, including how people who exhibit each type may act and feel when they’re integrated or disintegrated, and looks at the most common “wings” (the tendency to behave with traits often enacted by personality type numbers on either side of the main type.)

What I Thought: The enneagram is a fascinating subject. It provides a unique lens through which you can view your own actions and thoughts, as well as those of others. It’s similar to personality indicators such the Myers-Briggs of INFP fame.

Paasch further groups the nine types into what she refers to as the triads: Intuitive Triad, Thinking Triad, and the Feeling Triad.

This book is horrid. There are grammatical errors everywhere, lame jokes, and it’s major cringe. It reads like an arrogant clickbait blog.

Worst of all, I don’t believe she truly grasps half of the numbers. The stories she tells are presumptuous and based on people’s actions, which is not the full picture of their inner reasons.

If you’re looking to learn about enneagram to better understand yourself or have greater empathy for others, I recommend The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher L. Heuertz and any of Suzanne Stabile’s books.

I’m a bit of an enneagram junkie (professional hazard). I was already looking forward to this book having followed Hannah on the socials for a while. But I have to say it exceeded even my expectations. It’s one of the most accessible, fun, honest, and funny guides to the enneagram I’ve seen. I am already thinking of ways to use it personally and professionally.

‪Just finished @hannahpaasch’s #Millenneagram. ‬
‪Reader I laughed. I cried. I cussed her out. I cried again.‬

‪I have read a lot of Enneagram books, and I plan to read more, but this book. This. Book. It was such a breath of fresh air to what I’ve been reading. It was real. Relatable. Hannah knows what she’s doing and knows what she’s talking about. I implore you all to go grab her book, read it, cry over it, and then learn to love yourself like you have never loved yourself before.‬

‪The most important takeaway you get get from her wisdom is this:‬

‪You are the point of you.‬

Self-discovery is hard and learning to love yourself is a bitch, but this book will help. The Enneagram is something I recommend to everyone. The reward of understanding who you are and why you do what you do is worth the painful wake up call you’ll receive and probably desperately need.

So go grab the book, read it, and share it with others.

I laughed and cried my way through this book.

Hannah is such a gem to the world and has created a modern-day Enneagram resource that meets many of us in our everyday struggle and shows us there is more. I love how each chapter inspires us to understand each other more deeply and to hold space for the stories we've lived to survive up until now.

I'm super inspired to continue growing, integrating, and learning the love the amazing humans placed in my life better. Thanks, Millenneagram!

When I worked in tax resolution, the company I worked for had a Enneagram specialist on the payroll. She would come in from time to time to help new employees find their number and consulted with the main boss man about his number and how it effected his work/office relationships (I assume). I was so taken aback when I first learned about my number (5w4), and was encouraged to read up on it (which I did). But it kinda fell to the wayside after I left that company.

For some reason, I felt like looking into it again so I checked out this book from my library. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Truth be told, I found the title a little corny at the beginning but this book reached me where others couldn't. The author wrote in a way that really made me understand my number, used lingo (for lack of a better word) that is super common with people my age, and was crazy positive. It was also pretty funny in places, and the book itself is gorgeous with all of the color coding in its layout. I couldn't help but walk away from this read wanting to dig myself out of my brain ruts, dig deep into integration, and in general work toward a better, truer self. I HIGHLY recommend, especially if you're 30 or younger and have never been exposed to the Enneagram before!
