The Enneagram, Relationships, and Intimacy: Understanding One Another Leads to Loving Better and Living More Fully by Suzanne Dion, David N. Daniels, Daniel J. Siegel
2.0
I think this book is mislabeled; the first 70% is a book about mindfulness through the lens of the enneagram. Only about 15% is actually focused on relationships and intimacy (unless you're persuaded that your relationship with yourself is about intimacy and relationships).
So I would recommend this book to someone who is primarily interested in mindfulness and has not already read other enneagram books.
As far as enneagram content: the author takes a long time to say what he is saying. There are spots throughout the book where he will take 5 paragraphs to say, "Ask yourself about this next topic. It is important."
The two gold nuggets in the midst of all the fluff are: a reflection each enneagram is given to process anger, and the section where enneagram numbers speak of intimacy. Those 20 pages would have been enough for me!
I am counting this as a book over 400 pages for a reading challenge I am doing.
