Brené Brown writes voluminously about things that matter most. Here is some of her wisdom for each of the 9 enneagram types:

Enneagram Ones

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”

Enneagram Twos

“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.”

Enneagram Threes

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.”

Enneagram Fours

“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

Enneagram Fives

“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.”

Enneagram Sixes

“Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.”

Enneagram Sevens

“Joy comes to us in ordinary moments. We risk missing out when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.”

Enneagram Eights

“Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.”

Enneagram Nines

“We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.”
