Review

With wit, charm, and refreshing simplicity...Baron and Wagele creatively provide a nonthreatening way to understand the basic concepts of the Enneagram. (Kathleen V. Hurley and Theodore E. Dobson, coauthors of My Best Self: Using the Enneagram to Free the Soul)

To create a thriving love relationship, two people must understand and accept each other’s basic personality traits. Now Baron and Wagele have made this crucial task supremely enjoyable. Every couple who laugh their way through The Enneagram Made Easy will be the richer for it. (Susan Page, author of If I'm So Wonderful, Why am I Still Single? and Now That I'm Married, Why Isn't Everything Perfect.)
