alisse 's review for:
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.
