Brug dit Enneagram is written by Mia and Balder Vendt-Striim and gathers more than 20 years of experience with the Enneagram in business. The book makes the nine types concrete and useful: how you recognise them, what drives them, and how you use that knowledge for better communication, collaboration, leadership and sales.
What the book covers
The book is in two parts. Part one is about self-insight and the nine types, that is, who you really are. Part two, coaching in depth and 360° communication, shows how you use the Enneagram with others and in coaching individuals and teams.
The chapter on communication between the types
The biggest addition in the fourth edition is the chapter on communication from type to type. It goes through how each of the nine types speaks best to each of the other eight: what gets heard, what is typically misunderstood, and what you can change in the way you say things yourself.
At the same time as the book came out, we built the same knowledge into the Enneagram test 360indicator. Anyone with a full 360indicator profile can look up how to adapt their communication to each of the other types, if they want to take responsibility for better communication and collaboration themselves. As far as we know, no other personality test has that part built into the tool itself.
That is also why we do not describe 360indicator as a test alone. It is a working tool you come back to: to improve communication, reduce misunderstandings and make everyday collaboration easier.

Brug dit Enneagram was first published by Schultz in 2007 and is published today by Forlaget Striim.

The book is sold by Danish booksellers such as Gucca, William Dam, Plusbog and Bog & idé, and is available in Danish libraries. The book has also been recorded. The audiobook series holds ten titles, one introduction and one for each of the nine types, narrated by Morten Vendt. The recordings are in Danish only. See where to listen. As a companion we have published the card set Enneagrammet, de 9 psykologiske personlighedstyper (Forlaget Striim, 2015), with one card per type.
Who is the book for?
For leaders, employees and anyone who wants to understand people better, both themselves and those they work with. It works both as an introduction to the Enneagram and as a reference in everyday life.
Connected to courses and test
The book is part of the same method behind our Enneagram Kurser and the Enneagram test 360indicator. Reading the book and taking the test gives you a solid foundation before you go on to a course.
The book is in Danish.
