The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery by Suzanne Stabile, Ian Morgan Cron
3.0
I enjoyed learning the different types and anything that makes a person curious about themselves is a potentially good tool.
I didn’t like the unnecessary shoehorning in of the seven (nine?) deadly sins.
The road back to you
What we don’t know about ourselves can hurt us
“All models are wrong, but some are useful.”
Eighth grade teachers: you got the pizza you ordered. YIKES.
Richard Rohr says: Information is not transformation. You have to do something with it.
8s
Conflict is connection
They don’t want control, they just don’t want to be controlled.
Need to learn that moderation is a value not a restraining order
Need to learn not to confuse vulnerability with weakness
8s hate to lose more than they love to win
Genders influence on 8s
9
ABar
Self forgetting
8 forget rest and self care
7 forget to kick back and have fun
9 forget opinions preferences and priorities
2
Who am I when no one needs me?
3
You’re only as good as your last success
Sections at the end of each chapter that give tips on how to be a healthier version of your number type
5
Possibly autism (special interests - experience relationships differently)
Fear is warded off with info
6
Fear based
Fear is warded off with pessimism
7
Fear is warded off with optimism
Duck taping a silver lining to a black cloud
Live for the next adventure
Pleasure is in the waiting not the saiting
