Welcome to Litsy!

I think the cover & title are awful, but I actually loved learning more about the enneagram in this book. It's full of humor & hard truths & helped me understand some of my own challenges & others' choices better. The structure worked well introducing each type & explaining how their childhood, work, relationship, etc. can be affected by their type. It wraps up each one w/ a list of ways they can work on spiritual growth & healthy decision making.

I‘m new to learning about the enneagram and this was a great introduction.
It really is a joy to spend time thinking about the different types and where you and your people fall over the 9 types. I found it very interesting and will probably continue to think about it for some time.
The only problem I had with it was that I would‘ve preferred the spirituality parts to be spirituality without Christianity.

March‘s book report.

14 books read this month.

Wow! I learned so much reading this book. My number and wing are so me! I am a four wing five. Do you know your enneagram number, what it means and your wing? I would love to know. Book 30/150.

A fascinating look at the Enneagram and enlightening to look at the various personality types and the different ways God made us. A perfect first book diving into this topic. I loved the way each number on the Enneagram was organized in the book and found the breakdown of how each personality manifests itself depending on environment, relationship, stress, security, and childhood so helpful!

I‘m so glad I discovered this book! Reading about my type and the types of the people I love has been life-changing

This is the first time I‘ve dipped my toe into Enneagram stuff, but I love it! I feel like I need to get my hands on every book ever written about it now.

Tagged book is my main read. I‘m gonna say 😁—it leans a little more Christian than I personally prefer, but it‘s an excellent introduction to Enneagram stuff and I definitely want to read more. Thanks for the tag, @BayouGirl85 I‘ll tag @Schnoebs !

(My sister sent me the tagged book, it's all about the enneagram and it's great. I'm an enneagram 2w1! What are you?)

This is an excellent, down to Earth, not to heady approach to the Enneagram. It is the book I might hand to someone who wants to learn about it. It is helpful to know your number as you can skip right to that chapter, but a good overview for those just learning. Every enneagram teacher has different labels for the numbers, so be ready. There is a separate study guide.

1. I haven‘t, but I love to read about places I have been or am going.

2. I tend to get the things I want to learn about from the books I read, so I can‘t think of something I haven‘t read yet.

3. This past year, learning about the Enneagram has helped me to understand me—and the people around me—better. I haven‘t read the tagged book yet, but I‘ve heard it‘s one of the best; I‘m hoping to read it soon.

First time ever working with the #enneagram. We are spending our next staff retreat day focused on it and I was reading this in preparation. Turns out I am a pretty obvious number 9 and I believe I have an 8 wing. #teachersoflitsy

This was my second go-round with the Enneagram and I enjoyed it much more this time. This book is an accessible entry point to the spiritual dimensions of personality types, and how to apply the Enneagram's insights to recognizing your own patterns, tendencies, and flaws.

Exceptional book! Having started becoming more interested in the Enneagram, this booked helped not only learn about myself, but also my loved ones. It provided in-depth relatable understanding for each of the 9 numbers. As well, it provided a Christian aspect to them. Which can be comforting if you are of that faith or spiritual. I would honestly recommend to everyone, Christian or not.

Forever obsessed with the Enneagram. I‘ve read this book before (1 with a strong 9 wing here), but it was good reading this a second time and learning about my best friend (a 4) and my husband (a 5). This book lays out the types succinctly and gives good direction on how to love each type, whether at work or in relationships. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 29/30 for #BFCR2

I have been really pushing my self to read non fiction books more lately. I try to stick with topics that I am truly interested in and not forcing the topic. #nonfiction

Even the cat loves this book!

"The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box. It shows you the box you're already in and how to get out of it."

"The Enneagram should only be used to build others up and help them advance on their journey toward wholeness and God."

I‘m really obsessed with the enneagram right now and one of my friends surprised me with these lovely resources! If you‘re familiar with the enneagram, what‘s your number? I‘m a 9!

I'm pretty sure I'm a 6. And 99.9% positive that my husband is a 7. I honestly have no ideas on my kids right now. It's been a stressful time lately so none of us are really at our best.

A friend recommended this book to me and I am so grateful she did. Honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I'll be mulling this over for quite some time, not only in relation to myself, but also for my husband and children. Definitely recommend it!

Keeping notes... Since this is from the library 😆

This was a great intro to the enneagram.

I finished nine books this month. Two audio books (Dad Is Fat and The Last Time I Lied), one library book (Dear Mrs Bird), and one kindle book (Brain on Fire), plus the books in the picture.

These are the books that I plan on reading in September. I also plan on rereading Brain on Fire for my book club, and The Goldfinch, which are both on my kindle.

I read 18 books in July - including 4 nonfiction, which might be a record for me! Although really Grant took about 4 months, I just happened to finish this month. The two larger covers (Fangirl and The Road Back to You) were my favorites. #jesshowreads2018 #monthinreview

Reading on my last afternoon of my extra long weekend. My fur babies are nearby. I‘ve been enjoying the quiet after such a loud concert last night. DMB was amazing!! #catsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy

1. Trying to finish before I start another book!
2. Cooking out with the bf and then GoT marathon.
3. Anything grilled. Especially veggies!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: The Enneagram kept coming up so I finally gave in and picked this up on audio to find out which number I am. Read this if your curious to learn more about your personality. #NonFiction #LightChristianUndertones #ImA3

Finishing up breakfast and about to dive into these books. My church is doing an enneagram class once a month. One chapter every month so I‘m reading the first chapter before the first class this afternoon. I don‘t really put a whole lot of stock in this sort of thing but I think it‘s a good way to get to know people.

A lot of the podcasts I have been listening to talk about the called the Ennegram so I have been seeking out books about it. This book provides a good overview of the Ennegram. I am a type 5.

A fantastic primer to the Enneagram!

A Christian women‘s group and I just read this together as a way to get to know one another and ourselves better. I had experienced the Enneagram before, but this book gives a concise synopsis and is easy to read and understand. The enneagram can be a great tool to get to know ourselves and others better and this book explains it well.

Haven't read yet

The publisher sent me a ton of ARC's of this book since our team was going to do this as a group study, but not everyone decided to participate and some left the team. There are 3 up for grabs Littens! I just ask you cover shipping ($5)

Please note this book is the Enneagram from a Christian perspective but you could have a good experience either way!

The Road Back to You manages to dig deep into Enneagram concepts while conveying a sense of discussing the whole thing over Iced Tea in the Author's kitchen. It's presented in a coversational, relaxed style, but there is a lot of information being shared. This is a book that not only helps us understand ourselves a bit better, but can give us a better understanding of and compassion for others.

I'm excited to explore my Enneagram type and learn how that knowledge can enhance my personal growth. I love all this personality mumbo-jumbo!

That moment when a publisher wants to support your broke missionary team who is obsessed with the Enneagram and sends FOURTEEN ARC's so your team doesn't go broke.
