Instructional and interview format.
It’s no secret our personality has a lot to do with our success at keeping healthy habits. Each Enneagram type will thrive physically by tapping into the strengths of its type. Fit Enneagram explores how our Enneagram types influence food choices, exercise habits, and sleep.

The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types
by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson
Wisdom of the Enneagram is a doozy. I think of it as my go-to textbook on the Enneagram. A must for your Enneagram bookshelf.
The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge
by Beatrice Chestnut
This is the book when you’re ready to dig into Enneagram instincts.
Breaking down each Enneagram type into subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual – or one-to-one), this view of the Enneagram explains why people of the same type can present so differently.
The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective
by Richard Rohr
This is the classic on the Enneagram. Many current Enneagram teachers trace their journey back to Richard Rohr.
This Enneagram book is not for the faint of heart – it’s dense.
I think Rohr’s Enneagram focuses heavily on the shadow side of the Enneagram. Whenever I dip into this text, I do not walk away with a buoyant heart! Keep in mind I’m an Enneagram 7!
However, if you consider yourself a serious Enneagram student, this is a seminal work and a must-read.
