About the Book

Focusing on the nine Enneagram types and how they experience relationships, this resource will guide readers into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and others' personalities so that they can have loving, mature, and compassionate relationships.

Book Synopsis

Strengthening Your Relationships with the Enneagram's Wisdom

Most of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners, with friends, or in our professional lives. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others--and in ourselves.

This book from Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You will:

• Explain the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships
• Guide readers into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and others' personalities, and
• Open readers up to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram.

This book will explore questions like: Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action? Why do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else's feelings but their own and end up irritating people who don't want their help? How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and restrained and distant other times?

The Enneagram not only answers these questions but gives us a way out of our usual finger pointing and judging of other people--and finding them wanting, perplexing, or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do. This book offers help in fostering more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in our lives.

Review Quotes

"If you've heard of the Enneagram but never understood it, the introduction to The Path Between Us is worth the price of this book; it provides the best short introduction to the Enneagram that I've ever seen. Each chapter is equally amazing. If you struggle to understand and get along with anyone--spouse, child, parent, boss, coworker, employee--you will find insights into what makes them tick and how you can forge a path of connection to them. In the process, you'll learn a lot about yourself as well. A treasure!"

--Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration

"While you're reading The Path Between Us, you'll be making a list in your head of all the loved ones you'll be blessing with this book.

--Burt Burleson, University Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual Life at Baylor University
