The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships Hardcover – April 10, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
Strengthening Your Relationships with the Enneagram's Wisdom
Most of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners, with friends, or in our professional lives. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others―and in ourselves.
This book from Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You will:
- Explain the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships
- Guide readers into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and others' personalities, and
- Open readers up to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram.
This book will explore questions like: Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action? Why do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else’s feelings but their own and end up irritating people who don’t want their help? How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and restrained and distant other times?
The Enneagram not only answers these questions but gives us a way out of our usual finger pointing and judging of other people―and finding them wanting, perplexing, or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do. This book offers help in fostering more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in our lives.

Review
"If you've heard of the Enneagram but never understood it, the introduction to The Path Between Us is worth the price of this book; it provides the best short introduction to the Enneagram that I’ve ever seen. Each chapter is equally amazing. If you struggle to understand and get along with anyone―spouse, child, parent, boss, coworker, employee―you will find insights into what makes them tick and how you can forge a path of connection to them. In the process, you’ll learn a lot about yourself as well. A treasure!"
-- Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration"While you're reading The Path Between Us, you'll be making a list in your head of all the loved ones you'll be blessing with this book. You'll want them to have it because this is deep wisdom about the human journey and yet, at the same time and as always, Suzanne offers it to us in such accessible and practical ways."
-- Burt Burleson, University Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual Life at Baylor UniversityReview
"Since personality shapes our formation, many of us wonder how the Enneagram can help us belong in our closest relationships. We trust Suzanne Stabile to guide us in this discovery because of her wisdom and experience, and even more because of her generosity of spirit, social intelligence, and whole-hearted love for people. The Path Between Us will help you be more compassionate toward the people in your life and yourself."
-- Mark Scandrette and Lisa Scandrette, authors of Belonging and Becoming: Creating a Thriving Family CultureAbout the Author

- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018This is one of the most practical books about the Enneagram I have read! The book does not just present theory's and concepts but rather provides real life, entertaining stories that illustrate the subtle differences between the Enneagram numbers and how they see the world, especially as it relates to relationships. The stories make the wisdom shared easily accessible and understandable.
One of my most favorite aspects of this book is the creative and helpful way it is structured. Too many times when I find a book that I like, I have to search back through the pages and find my highlighting or underlining to reference important points. This book does that for the reader by breaking out the chapters into the different Enneagram numbers and then highlighting important points within the text, as well as on the side of the page where it outlines key facts about how a specific number relates to other numbers. Each chapter then concludes with information about relationships for and with that specific Enneagram number.
I keep this book at my desk for easy reference. I have purchased several copies to give away to friends, and then have discovered they have done the same because they found it so helpful. I also purchased the audio book, which I highly recommend! It's great to listen to in the car on the way to work if I need a refresher and it is also helpful if I want to share about a particular number with someone - I can let them listen to that particular chapter or story. The audio book is read by the author which is another benefit because she is very easy to listen to and you can tell she is very comfortable with the material. It just fits!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024I love this book. It’s open my eyes to why people think and act the way they do. I feel a lot more understanding and compassionate whereas before I would just get frustrated with others when they didn’t think the same way I do. Great information easy read, I would recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2020I was attracted to this book because… I am enjoying learning all I can about the Enneagram. Suzanne co-authored the THE ROAD BACK TO YOU. This seemed like the next logical step to take.
This book was about how the nine Enneagram personality types see and process the world. It is very revealing to realize how your type and the other eight types respond to the circumstances. First, you this book helps you understand your type’s motivations for responding and where to watch for how you can make positive impact on your own motivation.
Second, understanding how the other type see the world and respond, helps remove judgment and gives you insight into build your relationships and not tear them down.
Things I liked about this book Suzanne presents the material in an informative and entertaining way. Almost all of the antidotes, remind you of experiences of your life and your relationships. Most of the time, you are saying to yourself, ‘oh, that’s what happened.’
Why you should read this book In this life, relationships are the most important aspect of our life. You have felt at odds with both your closer family/personal relationships or in your distant professional/social relationships, this book will help you understand the conflicts. It will also give you the insight to help you take those relationships to a deep, more successful path. If you are like me, it will give you a greater desire to know more.
This book lived up to the back cover copy - I agree with the notes on the back cover. This information will lead to more life giving relationships.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022I bought this as a gift, it's a great book but it was just too pricey, no other issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018Wow – there is a chapter about me and it has some tools that are helping me open up (a little) and letting others into my life.
Probably the most important insight is the awareness there are more than two ways of being in the world. I have always known there were my way and their way. But the author identifies 8 other ways other people see the world. Once I got past the embarrassment of the revelations about me, I realized the awareness of why others behave differently can help me in my relationships with my immediate family.
Some things the book has taught me about me are:
• I can “be in an intimate relationship without risking more than I can stand to lose.”
• I cannot “live my life without needing help from others at times.”
• I will have “to work to balance my thinking with some emotion and action.”
I am old enough to realize my fences will always be there and I will always need gates if I want relationships with other people. The Path Between Us has given me some keys to unlock my gates and some lights to illuminate the paths to my gates.
There is a chapter in The Path Between Us that is about you. A chapter that can help you beautify your paths so your relationships can blossom to their full potential.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2018As a therapist, I use the Enneagram as a tool in my private practice. I have seen positive changes in my client’s lives and their relationships. I recommend this book to my clients often. I also recommend it to my friends and family.
Suzanne Stabile gives us understandable, in-depth information about how we all see the world differently, react to the world differently and how this effects our relationships with others in our world.
She opens the door to her wisdom of the enneagram providing us with insight about how each specific number typically behaves in relationships along with having an understanding as to how and why others respond to us in relationships.
This book gives specific information on how each number can best get along with each other. The end of each chapter has bullet points on steps we can take to better ourselves and thus our relationships, along with things to keep in mind when relating to someone of a specific number.
Suzanne Stabile’s “The Path between Us” is a great book for everyone to read. I highly recommend this book along with her first book “The Road back to You”.
