Our favorite self-improvement books are the ones that leave us feeling inspired, but it's important to gauge whether the advice is really for you before you take it to heart. There are tons of different typology and personality tests to help you determine what kind of content you'll relate to, and if you love the enneagram as much as we do, keep scrolling to see the personal growth book we'd recommend based on your type. Read a mix of the following titles, or have whole your friend group read for their type before swapping recs over a brunch book club.
