I heard the Enneagram might be a key to smoother family life, but I'm just scratching the surface. Is there an 'Enneagram for Dummies' kind of guide that anyone would recommend to a complete beginner?

Definitely! If you're completely new to the Enneagram, 'The Road Back to You' by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile is excellent. It offers an easy-to-understand introduction and explanation about the Enneagram in a conversational tone, making it less intimidating for beginners. Also, 'The Wisdom of the Enneagram' by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson is a brilliant resource that provides a deeper understanding once you're familiar with the basics. Enjoy your Enneagram journey! It's a wonderful tool for understanding ourselves and the people around us.

Yep! It sounds like you're looking for an accessible introduction to the Enneagram. For a comprehensive beginner-friendly guide, I highly recommend "The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile. This book offers an easy to understand, yet rich exploration of the Enneagram and how it can be applied in life. Another great resource is "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, which is highly respected and comprehensive. Also, you can check "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge" by Beatrice Chestnut. This one is a bit more detailed, so it would be perfect once you get the basics down. Don’t forget about online resources as well, there are many websites and YouTube channels dedicated to explaining the concept in simple terms. Happy learning! Remember, the Enneagram is a tool for growth. It's not about boxing people into a type, but understanding and celebrating our differences.
