The Path Between Us

Strengthen Your Relationships with the Enneagram's Wisdom Most of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners, with friends, or in the workplace. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others—and in ourselves. In The Path Between Us, Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You explains the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships guides you into deeper insights about yourself, your type, and others' personalities, and invites you to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram. The Path Between Us explores questions like: Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action? Why do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else's feelings but their own and end up irritating people who don't want their help? How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and restrained and distant other times? The Enneagram not only answers these questions but gives a way out of the usual finger pointing and judging of other people—and finding them wanting, perplexing, or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do. This book will help you foster more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in your life.
