Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In this empathetic, accessible guide, blogger Wilcox (Self-care in Relationships) explains the Enneagram system of determining personality types. The Enneagram describes nine personalities that determine a person's desires, fears, and motivations; identifying one's type, Wilcox writes, will helps readers feel whole and "enjoy life a little more often, love others a little bit deeper, and find yourself worthy of self-care." For example, a "helper" type is generous and friendly, and wants to be appreciated. Helpers, Wilcox explains, need to be wary of taking on too much and need to be reminded to say no if they feel overcommitted, and to avoid projecting others' toxic emotions onto themselves. Meanwhile, a "challenger" is decisive and protective and wants to be in control. Challengers can aid their self-improvement by accepting weakness, seeking counseling, and setting boundaries with friends and obligations. Wilcox also skillfully explains how one's Enneagram type relates to real-world situations, career choices, and personal relationships. Those curious about the Enneagram will find this to be a good starting point. (Dec.)
