Millenneagram by Hannah Paasch
Millenneagram reinvigorates the Enneagram by putting a modern spin on the classic nine types. Hannah Paasch, creator of the popular #millenneagream threads on Twitter, reveals how this system acts as a map toward our authentic selves.
For Hannah, the Enneagram is not about changing who we are, but rather nurturing and loving our whole selves, even the pain in the ass qualities.
“Only from this position of wholeness, rootedness in who we are, what we believe, and what kind of story we are writing, will we be able to act bravely for the sake of justice and humanity – to approach our f*cked-up world with the grounded courage it asks of us.”
With her trademark irreverent humor and empowering affirmations, Millenneagram reframes the classic Enneagram types with a fresh perspective and new names that cut right to the chase:
#1 The Machine
“I’m an Enneagram 1 and I Can Fix This!”
#2 The Parent
“I’m an Enneagram 2 and Can I Get You a Refill?”
#3 The Winner
“I’m an Enneagram 3 and All I Do Is Win.”
#4 The Tortured Artist
“I’m an Enneagram 4 and I’m Deeper Than You.”
#5 The Detective
“I’m an Enneagram 5 and I Read an Article About That.”
#6 The Oracle
“I’m an Enneagram 6 and I’m Loyal as Fuck.”
#7 The Party
“I’m an Enneagram 7 so This Might Be Vodka In My Mug.”
#8 The Dragon
“I’m an Enneagram 8 so Nice Try, Bitch.”
#9 The Wallflower
“I’m an Enneagram 9 so Let’s Just All Chill Out, Dude.”
A powerful tool for self-discovery (that doesn’t take itself too seriously), Millenneagram is an invitation for introspection and growth. Hannah’s revamped Enneagram goes beyond simply identifying with a type: it gives us permission to be our truest, enough-as-is, bad-ass selves.
The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher L. Heuertz
The Sacred Enneagram is a trustworthy, richly insightful guide to finding yourself in the enneagram’s 9-type profiles, and applying this practical wisdom for a life transformed.
Far more than a personality test, author Chris Heuertz writes, the enneagram is a sacred map to the soul. Lies about who we think we are keep us trapped in loops of self-defeat.
But the enneagram offers a bright path to cutting through the internal clutter and finding our way back to God and to our true identity as God created us.
Chris Heuertz’s life was forever changed after he learned about the enneagram 15 years ago. Today, he leads enneagram workshops all over the world.
Join Chris as he shows you how this ancient tool can help you awaken to the gifts God has given you, find freedom from your personal patterns of sin and fear, and grow in acceptance of your identity as you grow with God.
The Nine Ways of Working by Michael Goldberg
The 9 Ways of Working introduces the nine personality styles of the Enneagram, a classic, highly powerful approach to work and life.

You’ll recognize the personality types of the people you work with—colleagues, clients, bosses—as well as your own. And you’ll discover the most effective ways to work with these people:
The Perfectionist gets things done right—regardless of the consequences.
The Helper nurtures others’ careers—and demands to be appreciated for it.
The Producer works hard to succeed—but can burn out in overwork.
The Connoisseur explores his or her creativity and deep feelings—but may get lost in them.
The Sage craves data, theories, and insight—but may forget the human element
The Troubleshooter knows the secrets and who can be trusted—but can get mighty paranoid.
The Visionary inspires with brilliant, fun, imaginative ideas—but leaves closure to others.
The Top Dog exercises leadership—but may end up as a vengeful bully.
