Ugh… it’s such a loaded word, but yes, I am a Millennial. I was excited to check out this book because I love the Enneagram. (I’m a Two.) I thought it would provide some fun insight.

I’ve also done a lot of introspective exercises in the last few years, and at this point I’m a bit skeptical of more of it.The reason is, at some point I think you have to focus less on yourself and more on the rest of the cosmos.
