They explore how various Enneagram types, such as Twos and Fives, cope when their usual methods of managing the world aren't working. Through personal anecdotes and examples involving stress and conflict, they emphasize the importance of self-reflection and the discomfort that comes with stepping out of well-worn behavioral patterns.
