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.

Notes

"Suzanne has been a priceless source of wisdom in my life for many years. She is without question the best Enneagram teacher out there."



"After reading The Path Between Us, I felt like I understood my friends and family better than I have before, as well as the way I can be a better husband, father, friend, and coworker. This is a practical guide to understanding relationships through the Enneagram. This is a book you won't just read—you'll reference it for years to come."



"If you've heard of the Enneagram but never understood it, the introduction to The Path Between Us is worth the price of this book; it provides the best short introduction to the Enneagram that I've ever seen. Each chapter is equally amazing. If you struggle to understand and get along with anyone—spouse, child, parent, boss, coworker, employee—you will find insights into what makes them tick and how you can forge a path of connection to them. In the process, you'll learn a lot about yourself as well. A treasure!"



"Since personality shapes our formation, many of us wonder how the Enneagram can help us belong in our closest relationships. We trust Suzanne Stabile to guide us in this discovery because of her wisdom and experience, and even more because of her generosity of spirit, social intelligence, and whole-hearted love for people. The Path Between Us will help you be more compassionate toward the people in your life and yourself." weniger anzeigen expand_less
