I enjoyed this book. There was language throughout, so just be aware. I felt called out, or maybe not called out, but may be seen at a microscopic level. Out of all the tests/quizzes one could take; astrology sign, color test, personality type, etc. This has been about the only one I think is accurate, well as accurate as these tests can be. See, I'm a four and boy oh boy does the "individualist", or as this author calls it, "the tortured artist". I could quote the entire chapter right here, showing how true it all is for me.
So take this for what it's worth. I wouldn't say that with this test and honestly any other you should have to dictate your life and make decisions only based on it. Just like any of the other tests, overtime your number or result can change based on where you are in life.

Hannah Paasch is inspired, hilarious, and capable of connecting with the reader beyond the pages of this book. This is the perfect and absolutely relatable dive into the Enneagram for anyone and everyone. It is a must-read for those who want to venture into the realm of self-discovery and who want to understand others better, too.

Wassup bitches, did you know enneagrams are fuckin' dope as shit? Imma pound this White Claw and lay down some truthbombs on yo ass.
Not kidding - the book is actually written in this voice. It's the single most annoying thing I've ever read.

I was getting to a point where I thought yet another Enneagram overview was going to be too much.
I was wrong.
This book, which is marketed toward millennials, is useful for anyone newly interested in the Enneagram, and likely anyone who’s already a fan of Hannah. There’s a lot to love here, both in terms of tone and content.
I loved Hannah’s yin and yang approach to each number. As others have said, many books focus either on the positive or negative, and she strikes a good balance. On that note, there’s also the dual approach of “I’m giving you a pep talk” and “advice for loved ones.” The latter part is my favorite thing about the Enneagram, and she nails it.
I also thought this was one of the best approaches to the instinctual variants that I’ve seen in book format (there are teachers who do this much more in depth), and very relatable.
I have some mild quibbles about her teaching, but honestly, I have those same disagreements with other Enneagram writers (hence the rating, which is more like a 4.3/5).
I also liked Hannah’s voice—it sounded authentically like her, like you were chatting with her. And I related to her examples (similar age, history, etc.).
The design here was also pretty stellar—love the colors! Makes for an easy future reference.
All in all, this book surprised me in the best possible ways. I’d recommend to anyone (but if you’re off-put by some irreverent humor, maybe not the right book for you). Hannah’s got some wise words here—it’s worth driving in.

Well, shit.
Ya know, I think of myself as well-learned on the enneagram and then I open up Hannah's book and discover page after page of insight. Millenneagram is some sort of bedazzled, curse-factory of gem-studded wisdom. I started learning this in 2016 with Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile's The Road Back to You and then shortly after through a maze of websites and YouTube. Then Suzanne's The Path Between Us I love Suzanne's teaching. I've learned so much. I was sobered to read Hannah's hard-won reflections on self-discovery and understanding. Absolutely worth reading, as a primer for the enneagram or as ancillary to what you already know.
I want to put some quotes in the review below, but before I selectively pull out some of my favorite bits I want to say a little about Hannah's writing style. I've seen it critiqued in reviews, and that's precisely why I feel like I should say something. If you aren't familiar with Hannah, go look at her Twitter. If that's too much for you, you'll probably have complaints with the book. But, and I can't fucking stress this enough, you really shouldn't. The book is brilliant. The writing style is authentically the way she communicates and she doesn't tone it down. It's Hannah teaching as Hannah. As she writes towards the end: "Do you really think you exist only to reject your urges and dreams? Honestly, what would be the point of you being born so wildly unique, just to be tamed and homogenized and beaten down to size?"
I'm reminded of something from a Levi the Poet poem "Resentment" he wrote: "Someone will love it because it's honest, and someone will hate it because it's crude" and I think that fits here. But if that's a complaint, I hope you can get over it and see all the sparkle in this thing. It shines.
Some favorite quotes:
"We cannot be fully seen and fully known by anyone else if we cannot fully see and fully know ourselves."
"Coming home can be a rather long journey when you've never been there before."
"Maybe there's no one right way to be a good person, and maybe there's no advisory board signing off on who does and doesn't deserve badges."
"You cannot earn the love you need."

I'm generally a fan of all things Enneagram, but I cannot recommend "Millenneagram," especially if this is someone's first foray into exploring their Enneagram type. On the positive, there were some great nuggets of truth, and I appreciated a few of Paasch's fresh perspectives (the Instinctual Variants of Self-Preserving, Social, and Sexual subtypes were new to me, and I liked how she reframed disintegration to not always be a bad thing). However, on the whole, it just felt like the author was trying way too hard to be "hip" with pop-culture references ("Look at me! I can quote Hamilton!" and to be "edgy" with her near constant profanity. I also never saw how she could connect Enneagram types to social justice causes and initatives, which is something she alluded to in the early pages.
So in some ways this book tries too hard and takes away from some of the great nuggets in here. The excessive cursing, stretching to be cool or relevant at times, and digging into examples before motivation take away. But man are there some great fresh examples and insight. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone but if you want a new take on the Enneagram and don’t mind cussing then go for it.
