Resources

There are many resources on the Enneagram.    Here are a few I have found to be a trustworthy resource and especially helpful:

Books

The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships, by Suzanne Stabile

The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types,  by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson

  • Excellent Resource on all that is Enneagram.  It is written for those who want an introduction to different facets of enneagram such as wings, strength, security, sub-types etc.  It doesn’t go into depth about each topic.  I have a concern about his information about unhealthy behavior going into a pathological diagnosis.

Discovering The Enneagram: An Ancient Tool a New Spiritual Journey,  by Richard Rohr and Andreas Ebert

  • This book was written in 1992 and was the first book I read about the Enneagram.  It is a good introduction, however, there have been many written since then that are probably better.  Note: Anything that Richard Rohr writes is golden.  He has written several very good spiritual books.
