Book Recommendations Based on Your Enneagram Type

My sister and cousin have gotten super in to The Enneagram, but I still struggle to figure out my type! The Ennegram is rooted in the theory that all people belong to one of nine major personality groups. It's  purpose is not to but you in a box, but help you identify both the strength and limitations and provide guidance for self-improvement and growth. Not only does The Ennegram help you better understand yourself, but can also help you understand others, match us with the people we'll have the most successful relationships with, and even recommend books, movies, and TV shows we may enjoy the best - all because of our Enneagram types!
