This book gives tips for self-care based on your Enneagram personality type. Different personalities react in different ways when they are stressed out, so different self-care routines will be more beneficial or even essential for each personality type depending on their strengths and weaknesses.

I thought this is a very interesting and helpful approach to self-care, and I really liked that it’s not just about taking bubble baths or lighting a scented candle. This book really goes into the deep seated fears and worries for each personality type, and how we can order our lives and our relationships in such a way to minimize those fears and feel more confident in our own abilities.

I am a type one and I found that chapter very helpful. Some of the self-care tips are things like allowing yourself to be imperfect, enjoying the nostalgic things you’ve always loved, scheduling alone time, and letting go of control.

I liked the writing style and the way the book is organized. Each chapter explains a basic description of the personality type, and then goes into why this personality type needs a particular type of self-care, and ends with ways for you to empower other people in your life who might have that personality type. So it is beneficial to read every chapter, not just the chapter with your own personality type. You can learn how to care for other people in your life by giving their personality type what they need.
