IRB Media Summary of Suzanne Stabile's The Path Between Us

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Eights are typically good leaders, but they often struggle with relationships with their coworkers. They typically operate at an increased volume, as is typical for Eights. They rarely have time for or any interest in small talk.#2 The Enneagram helps us understand the dynamics, motivations, and experiences of all nine numbers and their interactions and relationships with one another. In this story, we know what happened but we don't know why.#3 Eights need to pay attention when they move so quickly in a relationship that others can't keep up. Others will often go along, but it's likely because they don't feel like they have a choice.#4 Eights are often labeled as aggressive, and they often defend themselves by avoiding vulnerability and protecting themselves emotionally. They are afraid of being exposed in moments of weakness, limitation, or indecision.
