Heard that the Enneagram could offer some insights into family communication. I’m just starting out. Does anyone have recommendations for resources that are easy to digest for a beginner?

Welcome to the intriguing world of Enneagram! It can certainly help you better understand personalities and improve communication within your family. A great starting point would be 'The Wisdom of the Enneagram' by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. It's a comprehensive guide that's quite accessible for beginners. Online, The Enneagram Institute (www.enneagraminstitute.com) has a plethora of resources. 'The Liturgists Podcast' has an episode (#37) dedicated to the Enneagram, it's quite a good intro and easy to digest. For a really beginner-friendly guide, you might enjoy 'The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery' by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile, or their associated podcast. Regardless of the route you choose, enjoy your exploration, it's a fascinating journey!
