For anyone looking to unlock their potential for growth, success and self-discovery, while also better understanding the people around them. The Complete Guide to the Enneagram: A Modern Approach to Self-Discovery and Connecting Well with Others (July 19, 2022; Page Street Publishing, Co. $17.99) is a must-have. Written by Enneagram expert and blogger Sierra Mackenzie, this book explains everything one needs to know about this ancient framework and how to adapt it for a modern audience.
The Enneagram stands out from other personality assessments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, by inviting people to recognize themselves in one of nine personality archetypes, with the specific goal of self-improvement. Taking inspiration from Jungian and Freudian psychology, the Enneagram has gained popularity because it is easy to understand and apply to daily situations.
There is a strong focus on recognizing the weaknesses common to each personality type, addressing the root causes that led to them, and overcoming them on the path of growth. Sierra’s in-depth descriptions are a great reference for people who are just learning what their type is but she also dives into more advanced Enneagram terminology, such as personality wings, Enneagram subtypes, and integration during times of stress or growth. Plus, she vividly describes how to live with each personality type– so once people have learned about themselves, they can start learning about their friends and loved ones, too.

“There are two wonderful gifts that we get given in life. One is the gift of self-awareness where we are able to carefully and honestly understand who we are and how we’ve been created at a deeper and more authentic level. The second gift is more subtle and that is how that the first gift is delivered. It could be a book, it could be a friend, an experience, a conference, some form of teaching. It could be a combination of all these. Sierra has taken the time, care, and attention to give you an I as readers and even greater gift of self-awareness, and even greater opportunity for that self-awareness to serve and help others. This book is the combination of her passion meeting her discipline. And what beautiful combination that this is. Enjoy the gifts that lie within and the beauty that comes from it.”
