Lately, in between books, I've been reading this book about Enneagram theory. What is this Enneagram thing I speak of?

Last week, in one of my regular YouTube browsing sessions, I was binge watching a specific well known YouTube channel.

The other day, I was browsing the internet in search of something to listen to.
