This week on Typology, we welcome back Carlos Whittaker, author, podcaster, and global speaker…and Enneagram 3. If you remember, last time he was on the show, Carlos thought he was an Enneagram 9. We suggested he investigate the Enneagram 3, and that’s what we talk about today, as well as his brand-new book, Reconnected: How 7 Screen-Free Weeks with Monks and Amish Farmers Helped Me Recover the Lost Art of Being Human.
Carlos shares his journey of self-discovery and vulnerability as he embarked on a seven-week screen-free experience that allowed him to uncover layers of his personality and confront feelings of loneliness, shame, and grief. He shares how this experience helped him discover and appreciate the importance of solitude, authenticity, and true connection.
Carlos' story serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing process of self-discovery and the courage it takes to confront our true selves.
If you're interested in exploring the Enneagram, understanding the Type 3 personality, or simply seeking inspiration for your own journey of self-discovery, I encourage you to listen to this episode.
You can tune in to the podcast on your favorite platform or visit our website to listen to this enlightening conversation with Carlos Whittaker.
Wishing you all a safe holiday and a week filled with self-reflection and growth.
