WE HAVE AN E + M BOOK!
Hello, I'm so excited that I'm practically bursting to share the news with you...
This is our early E + M book reveal and the cover reveal for the BRAND-NEW BOOK I've written for our community, The Enneagram in Marriage: Your Guide to Thriving Together in Your Unique Pairing!
Yes, I've officially been writing a book for the last year with the team at Baker Books, and it's finally complete and on sale here for pre-order here!
I talk briefly about it on this pod in a bit more depth as we open our week with a practical ride through our brand-new must-listen episode Attachment Tips for Every Type here as well!
So why an E + M book? After using the Enneagram to help thousands of couples and finding a good system for doing so, and after being asked by a mass marketer to write this book, I knew it was time to seek an agent and a publisher who would help me to craft a resource really well...
Not to rush it, but to take my time and carefully bring the massive amounts of content I've written into one organized resource - our most economical resource to date, in fact!
When I knew it was the right timing, my Reflections team and my inner circle team of E + M coaches Alicia, Krista, Christine, Kirsten, and friend Ariel Curry - encouraged me so much as well, as did Wes, Jenn, my kids, and a friend in publishing! So many more have encouraged me along the long journey, and I'm so grateful!
I am so happy to say that I found SUCH a wonderful publishing house that was the perfect fit too, although it was hard to choose as a type 7 of course!
But as you heard above, the wonderful house, Baker Books is where the book found its beautiful home!!
Not only did Baker offer me the freedom to craft the book, but my editor Stephanie Duncan Smith (type 4), and my literary agent Christopher Ferebee (type 9) also challenged me to go to the depths, and include more of myself than I was originally planning in my head type, systems-based way of doing my course, etc...
Suffice it to say, this book has plenty of practical tips and ideas for you but also groundedness and heart with these beautiful gifts added!
And with all the cards on the table, I truly hope and believe it will be a game-changer for you!
Yes, this book was written for YOU and with your relationship in mind. Many hands went into making sure you, as the precious reader, were considered foremost, and it will be available on audio as well since that contract has been signed as well!!
As you know, your closest attachment is indeed worth fighting for, and we want to give you every opportunity, as the subtitle reminds you, to not just survive together, but to thrive together!
So what should we do now with all this bound-up enthusiasm that I hope you share?
1. It would mean the world to us if you would spread the word about this new resource so we could really help the world to shine brighter together, too! Tell your community leaders so they know there's a resource for them to share in small groups and with local businesses for outreaches and speaking events!
2. Pre-orders REALLY help the book to get lift-off so I would love it if you would order it for yourself or a friend right away - I have linked it here! Let me know if you do!!
3. Know that I have not forgotten you in these "asks" as I have truly come to learn that giving is a gift! Those on the launch team or those who pre-order get BONUSES as we drip them out starting in July: (You know I love those!) Early purchasers so save your email receipt as you buy it now!!
(And - if you would like to be part of our launch team in some capacity, please respond a quick "Yes!" to this email!)
Thank you for reading this, truly, and for being a support! This email list has been going on for over a decade, and I'm so grateful!! It's small but mighty, and the large amount of email opens gave me the courage to keep writing each time I grew weary!!
But remember this above all. There is hope. I wrote this book so that those here who are struggling in shadows can find your unique gift, and how your unique gift fits into the world together in The Enneagram in Marriage: Your Guide to a Thriving Together in Your Unique Pairing!
You can also read more about the book here at my author site, www.christahardin.com, too, or at Amazon, Baker, Barnes and Noble, Target, and everywhere else books are sold!
I did today's episode as a video episode also as well as made a brief video announcement here!
