• What a fabulous book, long overdue. As a couples therapist and teacher of relationship I have found the Enneagram to be one of the most useful tools available for helping couples understand their partners differences. Ann Gadd has done a brilliant job, infused with humor and filled with wisdom and understanding they book is a gem I will recommend to all of my clients. - Linda
• Very Insightful and Useful in Everyday Life.- A. Wazir
• Super insightful read. This book is so detailed and so insightful. I loved it! - Scott
• I used this book as reference on a topic about which little else has been written. Gadd's straight forward style and easy way of organizing the book make it quick and fun to peruse. It is great for both researcher/academic and any reader who is interested in the topic. The content is heavily cited and backed up, but doesn't feel so - As you read, it feels like talking with a friend. My copy is full of underlining and highlighting. I'd highly recommend it. Sam
• An approachable presentation of the complex ways each Enneagram type may express or repress emotional openness in intimate relationships, and how deep-rooted issues of vulnerability, fear of self disclosure or shame, and lack of trust can cloud and limit our sexual selfexpression. In a warm, instructive, yet non-judgmental style, Ann also provides suggestions and reflections on ways an individual type might become more sexually, and therefore more completely, present to another in intimate connections. Brian L. Taylor, vice president of the Enneagram Institute
