Even though the Enneagram personality typology system is not strongly backed by current science, many people find the system helpful for self-reflection or personal growth. One reason the Enneagram’s classification of categorical types is problematic is because personalities vary by degree, not by kind. The Enneagram is a personality typology system that identifies nine types of people based on their core motivations, fears, and coping strategies.
The Unfiltered Enneagram: A Witty and Wise Guide to Self-Compassion by Elizabeth Orr is a book that aims to help readers discover their true selves by exploring both their healthy and shadow sides of their Enneagram type. The book offers a humorous and honest look at the strengths and weaknesses of each type, as well as practical tips for personal growth and self-compassion.
The book is divided into nine chapters, one for each type, with titles such as "R Is for Reformer (and Resentment)" for Type One, "Self-Sacrifice with Some Serious Strings Attached" for Type Two, and "Comfortably Numb (and Impressively Stubborn)" for Type Nine.

If you are really into the Enneagram you will probably enjoy this book more than I did. If you are a skeptic like me you might want to pass.
