The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships

Very informative!

This is one of the most practical books about the Enneagram I have read! The book does not just present theory's and concepts but rather provides real life, entertaining stories that illustrate the subtle differences between the Enneagram numbers and how they see the world, especially as it relates to relationships. The stories make the wisdom shared easily accessible and understandable.One of my most favorite aspects of this book is the creative and helpful way it is structured. Too many times when I find a book that I like, I have to search back through the pages and find my highlighting or underlining to reference important points. This book does that for the reader by breaking out the chapters into the different Enneagram numbers and then highlighting important points within the text, as well as on the side of the page where it outlines key facts about how a specific number relates to other numbers. Each chapter then concludes with information about relationships for and with that specific Enneagram number.I keep this book at my desk for easy reference. I have purchased several copies to give away to friends, and then have discovered they have done the same because they found it so helpful. I also purchased the audio book, which I highly recommend! It's great to listen to in the car on the way to work if I need a refresher and it is also helpful if I want to share about a particular number with someone - I can let them listen to that particular chapter or story. The audio book is read by the author which is another benefit because she is very easy to listen to and you can tell she is very comfortable with the material. It just fits!

As a therapist, I use the Enneagram as a tool in my private practice. I have seen positive changes in my client’s lives and their relationships. I recommend this book to my clients often. I also recommend it to my friends and family.Suzanne Stabile gives us understandable, in-depth information about how we all see the world differently, react to the world differently and how this effects our relationships with others in our world.She opens the door to her wisdom of the enneagram providing us with insight about how each specific number typically behaves in relationships along with having an understanding as to how and why others respond to us in relationships.This book gives specific information on how each number can best get along with each other. The end of each chapter has bullet points on steps we can take to better ourselves and thus our relationships, along with things to keep in mind when relating to someone of a specific number.Suzanne Stabile’s “The Path between Us” is a great book for everyone to read. I highly recommend this book along with her first book “The Road back to You”.

The book was great explaining the different personality types.

I was attracted to this book because… I am enjoying learning all I can about the Enneagram. Suzanne co-authored the THE ROAD BACK TO YOU. This seemed like the next logical step to take.This book was about how the nine Enneagram personality types see and process the world. It is very revealing to realize how your type and the other eight types respond to the circumstances. First, you this book helps you understand your type’s motivations for responding and where to watch for how you can make positive impact on your own motivation.Second, understanding how the other type see the world and respond, helps remove judgment and gives you insight into build your relationships and not tear them down.Things I liked about this book Suzanne presents the material in an informative and entertaining way. Almost all of the antidotes, remind you of experiences of your life and your relationships. Most of the time, you are saying to yourself, ‘oh, that’s what happened.’Why you should read this book In this life, relationships are the most important aspect of our life. You have felt at odds with both your closer family/personal relationships or in your distant professional/social relationships, this book will help you understand the conflicts. It will also give you the insight to help you take those relationships to a deep, more successful path. If you are like me, it will give you a greater desire to know more.This book lived up to the back cover copy - I agree with the notes on the back cover. This information will lead to more life giving relationships.

The enneagram godmother makes each number easy to understand and feel seen, whether you want to be seen or not. It has helped me understand myself, my family and my coworkers giving grace where frustration used to live.

Wow – there is a chapter about me and it has some tools that are helping me open up (a little) and letting others into my life.Probably the most important insight is the awareness there are more than two ways of being in the world. I have always known there were my way and their way. But the author identifies 8 other ways other people see the world. Once I got past the embarrassment of the revelations about me, I realized the awareness of why others behave differently can help me in my relationships with my immediate family.Some things the book has taught me about me are:• I can “be in an intimate relationship without risking more than I can stand to lose.”• I cannot “live my life without needing help from others at times.”• I will have “to work to balance my thinking with some emotion and action.”I am old enough to realize my fences will always be there and I will always need gates if I want relationships with other people. The Path Between Us has given me some keys to unlock my gates and some lights to illuminate the paths to my gates.There is a chapter in The Path Between Us that is about you. A chapter that can help you beautify your paths so your relationships can blossom to their full potential.

I loved this book!

This book is the best! Helps with self awareness on a high level

Me encantó el libro y además me gusta mucho la versión de pasta dura, cuando lo compré estaba a un precio muy bajo, así que fue una buena compra

Ich hatte das Buch als Ergänzung zum Ennegramm von Richard Rohr und Andreas Ebert gekauft. Es gibt einige interessante Ansätze in diesem Buch. Aber es hat nicht den Tiefgang, den ich erwartet hatte.

Some wonderful insights in here about the Enneagram, and how to get along and best support people with different personalities to our own.
