Know yourself better--and understand the people around you more fully--with a fresh, practical approach to the wisdom of the Enneagram from a top author in the field.

"If you think something is missing in your life, it is probably more of the real you."

The Enneagram is one of the most powerful self-awareness tools we can access for greater happiness, success, and fulfillment. But if we just identify our own "Ennea-Type" and its most overt characteristics--and we stop there--we're not tapping this powerful thought system's full potential.

Enneagram expert Robert Holden wants us to have a fuller picture: not just to understand what our own Type means for us personally, but to see the people around us through the Enneagram's lens and navigate our lives by its light. Becoming Yourself is inviting and exciting, a rich and reader-friendly deep dive full of timeless wisdom and practical insight you can put to use in your life right now.

In Becoming Yourself, you'll start by pinpointing your Enneagram Type, then you'll explore all 9 of the types in detail--since all their energies are present in all of us. Robert illuminates the essential characteristics of each Type: their core strengths and innate gifts; their ego drivers, fixations, and basic fears; the path of growth that connects them to the virtues of other Types; and more.

On every page, you'll find insight and guidance to help you:

• Thrive in your personal relationships
• Excel at work
• Improve your mental health
• Walk your spiritual path
• Live your purpose

"My aim with this book is to help you use the Enneagram to become yourself," Robert writes. "The Enneagram doesn't try to fix you or change you; it helps you to grow. It recognizes that your essential self is already whole, complete, and perfectly made."

Three generations of women, an unforgettable summer of music, and the epic cross-country road trip they'll never forget.

Summer, 1969. Eleanor Bell doesn't have anything to lose. According to her doctors, she might not remember how to sing or play guitar soon, so why not head west now? Why not join the music festivals sweeping the country and lose herself in the music again in a swan song of her own?

Except Eleanor forgets, maybe on purpose, to tell anyone where she's going. When her daughter, Leanne, discovers her mother missing, she enlists the help of her own daughter, Nora, to help her find Eleanor. The last thing Nora wants to do before starting as one of Yale's first female undergrads is hit the road. But then Nora hears her grandmother on the radio - singing. Nora and Leanne hop in their Lincoln Continental for a cross-country road trip, always one step behind Eleanor, who has been dubbed the Dame of Rock n' Roll by none other than Johnny Carson.

Full of nostalgia and awash with the warmth of summer, Lost in the Summer of '69 is an epic celebration of savoring the encore-no matter what the next act may bring.

Dique Dominican is the powerful debut memoir from Ayendy Bonifacio, born "near a mango-steepled, river-scented town" in the Dominican Republic and raised in Brooklyn after migrating as a child. With lyrical precision and emotional honesty, Bonifacio reflects on the immigrant experience, identity, language, and belonging.

A Season is a visionary meditation born out of a spiritual crisis. As the poems attempt to remake a life within the ghostly limbo into which they've fallen--between self and world, sound and echo, the uncanny and the sublime--they work to reweave an intimacy between the past and the present, the "self" and its others, and between the world that remains and a world that's been irrevocably lost. Full of strange ecstasies and waking dreams, A Season is a self-portrait as blank space, a self-portrait as continual becoming--"a house of mirrors in which every face is perpetually on its way."

In this delightfully hilarious romance, a scientist's quiet world is completely turned upside-down when the AI program she designed creates a human body for himself--just to ask her out on a date.

As a top scientist in her field, Ava Green doesn't spend much time outside of the lab. But when her best friend Rani suggests she present her innovative work in AI at a big competition to win a funding prize, Ava finds herself attending a ceremony in a ridiculously fancy castle--wearing an equally ridiculous dress--as one of the four finalists chosen.

For the next three weeks, Ava will live at the castle (which is totally haunted, by the way) with the other contestants for the prize. Even though all Ava wants is to continue working on her AI program, FreeThought, in peace, she'll have to do things like attend dinners and actually interact with people. To make matters worse, one of the other contestants is the surly and aloof poet, Forrest Faulkner, who's had a huge chip on his shoulder since the moment they met. What's so great about poems that don't even rhyme, anyway?

When a handsome stranger--who literally looks like he's stepped out of one of Ava's pre-pubescent dreams--arrives at the competition, suddenly socializing doesn't sound so bad anymore. He seems too good to be real... and maybe that's not so far from the truth. As the competition progresses, Ava is suddenly confronted with a monster problem of her own creation, causing her to reconsider her life and work in a new light. She might also need to rethink some bad first impressions she's been holding on to as well. Maybe Ava's idea of perfection isn't what's perfect for her, after all?
