Review: with this book, acutually with mainly one chapter I learned to understand the reasons for some past difficult friendships much better, gain insights in how to behave differently in future if ever working or being a close friend with the same Enneagram type again. Interestingly I figured out that some of my past friendships which initially started well, but became stressful -unlike other close long-term friendships- had all been with the same Enneagram type (8) and had all a common problem which made them "suddenly uneasy". Only when I learned more of the Enneagram I figured out that these few close friends were/ are type 8`s and that the stress always started when I felt under pressure from them to do something they felt was the only right thing to do... often unasked advice, often it was an absolut "no go option / solution" ..... often the type 8 friends got really angry at me and started persuading + with an aggressive communication style....which made me - a type 9 - even more resistant than ever before. I bought this book in order to gain a deeper insight into the encounters in love and work relationships of various Enneagram types and in order to figure how to cope better in future with situations like the ones mentioned above. Obviously a lot of the problems one specific type encounters at work or in relationships with another type can be figured out with some of the other Enneagram books and have been absolutely eye-opening already. But I found that this book brought more common pitfalls to the surface when different types deal with each other. It is very well structured. Plus obviously it is much easier and more time efficient if you just need to read that one chapter or paragraph which is dealing with the stressors that may occur when type x meets type y clearly + briefly explained, when you are having the tensions already. I found myself well described and benefited from the growing edges I found / read in this book. So all in all a great tool to improve certain relationships, without having to read the whole book beforehand (assuming you know your Enneagram type+ the one of the person you are struggeling with!)

Review: A good book if you know what enneagram number you are but there is no quiz in it to figure this out. So you are left guessing what number you are. The point of the book is to learn about your relationships and often people fall into several enneagram numbers so the read can be confusing.
