As an author myself, this book was fascinating in helping to create personality types as well as researching my own and my families. I have read other's in this genre and this one really sticks out.

Outstanding!! I adored this new book on the Enneagram. The conversational tone makes this something you could hand to any reader. There's information here for newcomers and also for those who have been working through Enneagram material for awhile.

Covers basic information for each type, wings, moves in stress and security, triads and stances. One of my favorite features is the description of what the world would be like if everyone was one particular number.

The visuals here - from the color scheme to the graphics that are consistent from number to number, but tailored to each one - are fantastic.

I have read a lot of Enneagram resources over the last few years, and this one is a new favorite.

I've taken personality tests before, but this is the first time reading a book about Enneatypes. As another reviewer stated, it may be good to take an enneagram test before reading the book; that way, you know your type and relate to the details described in each chapter.

What's Your Enneatype? An Essential Guide to the Enneagram: Understanding the Nine Personality Types for Personal Growth and Strengthened Relationships by Liz Carver and Josh Green is an excellent introduction to enneagrams, and it was fun applying the information to people I know. The book goes into detail on each enneagram type and the subgroups. I liked that the book was divided into different colors for ease of use. What's Your Enneatype is quite informative and easy to use. I would recommend this book that is rich in information, great resources, and engaging graphics.

I've explored a thousand different guides about personality types. I have done the Meyers-Briggs test in the past and found the results to be interesting. Readers will learn what an enneagram is and is not, how the three descriptors for each type relate to each other, and ways NOT to use this tool. Take a look. See where you think you fit and maybe learn a bit more about yourself.

Having recently heard about this subject I was excited to learn more. I really enjoyed this informative guide to a subject that helps me learn more about different types of people and how to relate to them. Recommended.

I felt this was a really good guide for those starting out with enneagrams. It starts out with some basic info on enneagrams and explains that you can have characteristics of more than one type and that there are also other things that influence your number. Then sections cover each of the nine numbers, with great descriptions on motivations, how you behaves when stressed (showing signs of other numbers), things you need, subtypes, lies you tell yourself, the way forward, and especially helpful couple of pages on "if you love a (number)." There are also healthy practices and self care suggestions listed specific to your number.
The intro recommends reading through the whole book and making some notes when you really identify with the information to help figure out which number you are. I was able to tell from the first few paragraphs of each section if I identified with that number or not.
There is a lot of great info in here, in charts and easy to understand writing, to help learn more about your personality and motivations.

I am a sucker for the quizzes on the internet about "what kind of person are you?" and "what job should you have?" because I love to get that insight. This book was good because it was a good place to start if you're new to the enneatype, and it offers a lot of insight into the personality types.

I loved this book! I am a big fan of using the enneagram and this was a beautiful book exploring the 9 types, filled with colorful illustrations and gorgeous formatting.

This may be the best book on the enneagram that I have read yet (and I have read a lot). I have followed the authors on Instagram for a while and have always enjoyed their posts so when I saw that they had a book coming out I was very excited. There is a lot of information packed into this book, but it is done in a way that is very easy to read and understand. This book challenges me in my weaknesses and affirms me in my strengths of who I am and also helps me to understand the people that are around me.

I really enjoy the layout of this book, with the different colours for each number and the illustrations that are used well to demonstrate different facets of the enneagram. This is a book that I will definitely be purchasing a copy of for my own home library and to lend out to others to help them to learn more about the enneagram.

I love learning about the enneagram, and this book is a great, comprehensive look at all nine of the enneatypes. The main focus throughout this book is to encourage the reader to move beyond simply a knowledge of the enneatypes by applying that knowledge to making self improvements. However, the book is not overly negative in calling out the unhealthy character traits in each type to be changed. Rather, it encourages readers to analyze themselves honestly, and to be motivated by the many positive character traits that are also inherent to each enneatype.

I love that this book covers many aspects of the types, such as the sub types, wings, triads, and stances. Many books don't cover the sub types, yet they are very important in explaining how people of the same type can be very different. Overall this book was beautifully designed. The graphic design elements were fun and aesthetically pleasing.

4.5 stars

This is a good place to start for researching Enneatypes. For newbies, think of it as a personality test (9 main personality types with combination links) which can help you to better understand yourself, your strengths and weaknesses and this contains practical reminders of beliefs that people with certain enneatypes might struggle with, e.g. beliefs about themselves, others and behaviours that may be exhibiting, It is a good tool for self reflection.


I would advise people to read it all first, then do a free online test then reread the types that they are aligned most strongly with.

Overall, well recommendable.

I received a free digital ARC through NetGalley. This is a very comprehensive guide to help you discover your type. Easy to follow and jam-packed with information.

I’ve been wanting to rea s this for a while and think the whole concept is so interesting and satisfying.
Who doesn’t want to learn more about themselves?
I think this is so helpful in Helping you decide which type you are and 100% recommend it for anyone interested.

What's Your Enneatype? An Essential Guide to the Enneagram by Liz Carver and Josh Green is a great primer for people just starting to learn about the Enneagram. The information presented was done so without overwhelming the reader and included lots of helpful graphics to emphasize the salient points.

This book is perfect for the reader interested in the more secular aspects of the Ennegram - as opposed to many of the books on the market which focus on spiritual growth from a very Christian perspective. If you come from a faith outside of Christianity or find faith discussions generally off-putting, this book will be a refreshing change of pace from many of the current crop of Enneagram books.

I would recommend taking an online test before reading this book, so you have an idea of what type you might be. After reading the introduction, you do not have to read the sections in order. You can start with your number and the move your way around the circle. This book is a great start for anyone looking to start their Enneagram journey.

I liked that the book started with the background and theory of enneagrams. Too often, I read books that jump straight into exploring the 9 types. Each of the 9 types were thoroughly described. The authors also added plenty of life and relationship advice as it related to each number. Excellent read for those delving into enneagrams.

I had never heard anything about Enneatypes before seeing this book on NetGalley. I wanted to start reading more non-fiction texts and this certainly hit the spot. Despite not knowing exactly which Enneatype I am, I found each one fascinating and felt like it helped me understand myself more and the motivation behind the behaviour of people I know.

This guide presents a LOT of information in a very accessible and easy to understand way. I'll definitely be coming back to it again to check in with myself and make sure I am treating those around me fairly. I've already made my partner pick it up and I'll certainly be recommending it to other people as well.

GREAT way to understand the different Enneatypes. I had been seeing the enneatypes floating around in popularity on the internet and had absolutely no idea what they were or which type they were! I saw this book and knew I had to read it! When I took online tests I kept ending up with completely different results. This book allowed me to understand what the enneatypes were and which I fit into! Thanks for the great guide!!

"What's Your Enneatype?" is an in-depth, fun way to learn more about the Enneagram. I was quite sceptical about this personality framework but as a previous believer in the MBTI, I am converted for good. The Enneagram is an extremely interesting topic and thanks to this book, I was able to discover my type. Each type has a section, which is divided into different components that make up the particular type. This is a book that I will be recommending to friends and colleagues and hope they find it as useful as I have!

This is a brief guide to the 9 Enneagram types. It's short, but packs a big punch! There is no "enneagram test" in the book, but rather all the types are described - with some reflection, you can likely figure out quite easily to which category you belong. It provides an overview of the types, the strengths and weaknesses of each type, various subtypes, and advice for healthy relationships with different types.
The book uses visual aspects to describe the different types, and the graphics are engaging and beautiful. My only complaint is it is a bit short, however, this makes it great as a quick reference point or a beginner's introduction.
I think enneagram amateurs and aficionados alike can benefit from this guide to the Enneagram. 4 and 1/2 stars.

I just found out about the world of enneatypes, and this book popped up on the titles page. I'm now obsessed with finding out as much as possible about enneatypes, and I loved this book. It's a great resource for those just new to the world, and it is a great essential guide!
