Recommendation

The Enneagram means different things to different people, but when applied thoughtfully, many swear by its ability to benefit its devotees. Born of a seven-day vision by Bolivian teacher Oscar Ichazo, the Enneagram can meld with any culture, religion or philosophy. Christian journalist Tyler Huckabee suggests that it can bring clarity to your personality, behavior patterns and future life paths. Websites and free online tests, which co-opted the philosophy for clicks and giggles, have made this popular among millenials. Read on to clue yourself in.

Take-Aways

  • The origins of the Enneagram are hazy, but Bolivian teacher Oscar Ichazo often gets credit for popularizing the modern version.
  • The Enneagram can be helpful for people who want to deal with past traumas, understand themselves and discover their life path. 
  • Those hoping to leverage the Enneagram to improve their lives would benefit from seeking a certified Enneagram coach.
