Where I heard about it
- Replies to @SpencrGreenberg — listed as “Nine Ways of Working” in the replies when he asked on X “What non-fiction book taught you the most about how the world (or how humanity or society) really works?”, June 2025. Full list: A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet).
About this edition
An earlier edition was published in 1996 as Getting Your Boss’s Number, and the printings are hard to separate. The Enneagram itself has no empirical standing as a personality instrument, which is worth knowing given the thread asked what taught you most about how the world works.
Connections
- Psychology — typology as a framework, with the usual caveats.
- Company Building — the book’s actual use case is managing a team.
- A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet) — the thread this recommendation came from.
