Did not finish. This was not what I expected, but that might be on me. It seems to be guided meditation and sounds more like a podcast formatted as an audiobook.

For the past few years, I have been very intrigued by the enneagram, but have not done any deep dives into it other than taking the test (I'm a 2) and making friends and family take the test as well. I love seeing infographics on instagram about them but that's about how far I've gotten! This audio book dives into how each enneagram type approaches creativity, as well as some roadblocks.

This book reminded me of a long form content ted talk (appealing for some, not for others). There definitely is A LOT of information. I listened on 1.25x speed, and I would recommend listening on the set speed of 1x if you really want to take in the information. The audio quality reminds me of a zoon call, it is not crystal clear, which again, is tolerable for me, but I could see how others may be bothered by it.

I listened through each section for this review, but it is split up into each enneagram after the introduction by Catherine Bell, explaining characteristics of each number for you to get an overview of all 9.

I could see just listening to the deep dive of what number you identify with, but as I mentioned, I have friends and family who have taken the test, so I enjoyed listening to each section to get a better understanding of who they are and how they move through a creative process.

Overall, I would give this audio book 3 stars. There's a lot of information, good information and insight, but A LOT of it. I think this is worth the listen though, even if you just want to tune into your type and see how you resonate. I found myself nodding along and saying "mmhmm"

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ALC of this book.

Unfortunately, this book didn't work for me and I didn't like the format of how it was done, I was expecting an audiobook but felt like I got an ongoing conversation where at times things were repeated and became annoying.

I hope this works for others but for me it didn't
