Christina packs a punch with this short read, highly insightful and full of good details, you are sure to find worthwhile tidbits on your own interpersonal relationships. Friends, significant others, siblings, children - you can relate this all to "take care of your friends". While the enneagram is well thought of as insightful to yourself, it's nice to see this used here as a communal and relational aspect! Highly enjoyed this read.
I loved the little bits of illustrations as well. It really made this book feel light and broke up a lot of the informational parts.

I love the way this book is set up. The Enneagram can be so confusing to some folks and this book does an awesome job of breaking out down in a digestable way. I would love to add this book to my collection. Big plus that there's not a super religious spin on it as well. I find that many Enneagram books published in the last few years have a hard Christian spin on them, but this one doesn't have that. And the illustrations are cute, too!

This was a great book about how to better understand ourselves and the people around us, to improve our relationship. It provided a lot of insight about how people completely different from each other can maintain and nourish incredible friendships and relationships.
It was well written and explained everything in a way all can understand.
I think some of the ideas maybe oversimplified the complexity of human beings and their personalities, but I still think that it’s a great start to improve interpersonal relationships.
Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc!

"Take Care of Your Friends" by Christina Wilcox is a heartfelt exploration of the dynamics and responsibilities inherent in friendships. As someone who appreciates nurturing relationships, I found this book deeply resonant.

Wilcox's writing is both insightful and practical. She delves into the nuances of friendship, emphasizing the significance of empathy, communication, and mutual support. I particularly identify as the second enneagram, the giver, and I felt seen many times and could see a lot of resemblance in the relationships I have. The author effectively highlights the challenges that givers may encounter, such as the risk of burnout or feeling unappreciated.

Moreover, Wilcox doesn't just offer theoretical advice; she provides actionable strategies and reflective exercises throughout the book. This hands-on approach makes "Take Care of Your Friends" an enlightening read and a practical toolkit for nurturing and sustaining meaningful friendships.

It's a perfect book to have on your side table!

With her first book “ Take Care of Type” Christina delved into the enneagram and how each person could use the personality framework to better understand themselves. In her new book “ Take Care of Your Friends” she turns that insight outward, helping each type learn to relate, recognize each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and become better friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought it gave great insight into how different types of people could relate to each other. Thank you to netgalley for a digital copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading this book about enneagram types and how that relates to friendships. I really liked how each type was explained and how they each got a more in depth section in the book. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I really enjoyed this book - I loved the informative and straightforward style, and my friends and I are very into the Enneagram so this is right up our alley! I can't wait to share this with them when it is published!
