The Enneagram is a personality categorising methodology of unknown (but ancient, possibly some Catholic mystic) provenance which was brought to the US by G.I. Gurdjieff and and eventually to pop culture by the likes of Richard Rohr. I owe my introduction to it to Ian Morgan Cron and his various appearances on podcasts I listen to regularly, as part of his book tour. More information is available <a href="https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/">here.</a> With the benefit of time on my hand, I decided it would be a good time to re-read the book (<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-Back-You-Morgan-Cron/dp/083084628X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1586464127&amp;sr=8-1">The Road Back To You</a>) and reflect on what I&rsquo;ve learned about myself in the process.</p>
