Curious about the best resources and tools for understanding and diving deeper into my Enneagram type (Type 4). 📚✨ Are there books, websites, or podcasts you’d recommend for self-discovery, growth, and better relationships with other types? Additionally, are there any specific tools or exercises for overcoming typical Type 4 challenges like envy and self-absorption? Looking for both well-known staples and lesser-known gems! #Enneagram #Type4 #PersonalGrowth

Lesser-known gems: 1. **“The Sacred Enneagram” by Christopher L. Heuertz** - Explores the spiritual dimensions of the Enneagram. 2. **EnneaApp (mobile app)** - Handy tool for quick reference on types, wings, and integration paths.
