I was so excited to find this book, written by the creator of the Instagram account @enneagramandcoffee, which I have been following for over a year and whose "enneagram bingo" first led me into my discovery of my type. This book is easy to read and well-organized, with an overall positive outlook but without being afraid to dive into the dark parts of each type. The illustrations and the fun extras (like the bingo for each type) were aesthetically pleasing and really enjoyable. I will definitely be suggesting this book to all of my friends!

Delightful book about the enneagram and how each type can work towards being its healthiest version of self. I especially enjoyed the enneagram bingo sections and the author's H.O.N.E.S.T breakdown for each type.

Five stars! Case (popular from her podcast 'Enneagram and Coffee'), has made the Enneagram approachable, friendlier and more digestable in this beautiful book. While other Enneagram books sometimes focus too deep on certain aspects or tie the Enneagram to religion (which in my opinion limits the reach in a school library like mine), Case's approach is like sitting down with a friendly therapist that somehow knows all about you and is a cheerleader to help you be your very best. I appreciate that she includes "trigger warnings" for difficult subjects, and explains a type's shortcomings in a way that encourages us to do better and try things differently than we may have before in order to help us grow.

This will be a must have for any library. I can't wait to show this one to my Enneagram-obsessed teens.

This book was super interesting. I had heard a lot of people mention Enneagram, but I didn't know much about it. The author assumes you already know what your Enneagram number is, and I would have liked if the book had some resources on how to find out if you didn't already know. That being said, after some googling and a test, I went back and found the results were really on point. I liked how the author approached it - not making you feel guilty or shaming, but with the attitude that everyone is just here trying to be the best version of themselves. Really interesting.

I became interested in Enneagrams after listening to a podcast in which they talked about Enneagrams and which type they were. This book was like an expansion on that and I loved learning and becoming more informed about each type and which type I am. Thanks netgalley and Andrew Mcmeel publishing for this fun ARC!

This was such a fun read and for anyone who is new to Enneagrams and is as cliche as me, maybe taking the test online first could help make it easier to read and enjoy this book.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

This is the perfect introduction to enneagram! It's not only insightful and interesting, and not mention beautiful, but very helpful. Fundamental for anyone who wants to be a better version of themselves. Highly recommend.

This introduction to the enneagram is probably the most helpful version I've read- it has kind and gentle truths, as well as meaningful advice for how to grow into the healthiest version of yourself. I loved the reminders of small ways we can modify our life to be both easier and more satisfying, and I appreciated the type-specific suggestions of creative outlets. I'll be giving this as a gift, for sure!

That was a scary read. I don't know if I should say run for the hills or read this book immediately. There's some very insightful and interesting facts and analysis of Enneagram and of each type. I love that the author shows us the types' dark sides but is very positive about it, because the objective isn't to point fingers but help people deal with their negative behaviours in a healthier way.

I was able to get a ton of useful information out of the book and I will definitely buy a physical copy when the book is released.

Thanks @Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review The Honest Enneagram!

The newest Enneagram book to hit the market will be published on April 14th!

I enjoyed this but I feel like I’ve seen a good amount of this content before. If you don’t already follow Enneagram and Coffee on Instagram, you’ll be in for a treat. If you already follow on Instagram, then you’ve probably seen a lot of this material before. The descriptions are also pretty similar to her work as well.

The book binds a lot of her Instagram posts into a one stop shop, maybe more accessible to those without social media. It’s fun to flip to your Enneagram chapter as well and see those descriptions and the memes.

It was a good read, but it feels like nothing new. Maybe it’ll be new and refreshing for others curious about the topic or those who haven’t already done the work to find their type.

Going into this I didn't know a lot about the enneagram, other than the fact that it related personality types to numbers. This books conversational tone made it really easy to jump in and learn. As a person who loves personality tests and types, this was fascinating. As many people will, I read one chapter in detail and largely skimmed the rest.

i’ve always really appreciated this authors take on the enneagram & have been following along with her since she really because popular! so, this book was a treat. it wasn’t like other enneagam books in the slightest. it was honest & real & sometimes a punch in the gut - but wow, what a necessary punch in the gut. if you love the enneagram like i do, read this book. you’re going to learn so much along the way of who you are meant to me & those around you as well

From the creator of the popular Instagram account @enneagramandcoffee, The Honest Enneagram is a great resource for those new to the enneagram, or for the mild enthusiast looking for a taste of what it’s all about.

Each chapter covers one of the nine enneagram types and provides a well-rounded look of the type as a whole – basic motivations, fears, blind spots, etc. – without bogging the reader down with too much heavy detail. Quick, well-designed and peppered with a few fun posts from its Instagram of origin, I’d recommend it for beginners!

This is a wonderful, informative and easy to read book. I've read other books on the enneagram and some have been really in depth. This book keeps it easy to read and actually enjoyable to understand your type.

Would absolutely recommend this book to anyone new to or just finding about the enneagram types. A fabulous idea as a gift as it applies to everyone in some way. Definitely deserves the 5 stars.

Will definitely be buying copies of this for friends when it is on sale.

Thank you Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley.

this was such an awesome book! Enneagramandcoffee has been one of my favorite instagram accounts for a while now, and it was cool to hear from her in a longer form format. I appreciated that this book didn't sugarcoat anything. It was honest about shortcomings, but matched that with lists of strengths. Aesthetically, I also thought the book did really well. I liked the hands holding items at the beginning of each chapter and the colors for every number. This definitely illuminated a lot in terms of my relationships with my family. I do wish it would have gone into how the types interacted with each other a bit more, though. Thanks for letting me read this for free.
