The Enneagram is a remarkable personality typing system that defines nine types of people and how they relate. It also explains why we behave in the way that we do by uncovering our unconscious motivations and deeply rooted influences. With vivid examples and insightful description, Palmer introduces the nine types - Perfectionist, Giver, Performer, Romantic, Observer, Trooper, Epicure, Boss, and Mediator - and illuminates each one's strengths, weaknesses, and potentials. Examining each type individually and in connection to others, Palmer shows how all out relationships in love and work can thrive with a newfound understanding of out similarities and differences.
