Being truly comfortable with ourselves is merely a matter of
wisdom. And even though this can be learnt without any external
aid, some psychological tools can contribute to ease, delve into
and accelerate this process towards self-knowledge. The
Enneagram is one of them. It is like an instruction manual of the
human condition through which we can understand the deepest
motives ¾often unconscious ones¾ underlying our conducts and
attitudes. It describes human behaviour through nine personality
types, aimed at helping us transcend our ego and reconnect with
our essence. This book has been inspired by the 250 courses that
Borja Vilaseca has taught since 2005 to more than 6.000
participants, validating empirically the positive effect that
getting to know and understand themselves through this self-
knowledge tool has on people’s lives. Hence, this book has been
recommended by the Aeneagrama Association, the Spanish
branch of the International Enneagram Association.

Plot
Ben Cash, his wife Leslie, and their six children live an isolated existence on ten acres in the mountainous
Washington wilderness. They are former left-winganarchist activists disillusioned by capitalism and American
life, who choose to instill survivalist skills and left-wing politics and philosophy in their children.
They educate them to think critically, and train them to be physically fit, athletic, and self-reliant without
dependence on modern technology. They are raised to coexist with nature, are given unique names, and
celebrate Noam Chomsky's birthday instead of Christmas. The children are accustomed to reading many forms
of college-level literature, and, while showing high aptitude and intelligence beyond their years, they are socially
awkward as they have not been socialized with the outside world.
Ben has been raising the children on his own while Leslie is hospitalized in New Mexico for bipolar disorder,
away from her family and near her wealthy elitist parents. She dies by suicide while undergoing treatment and
Ben learns that her father Jack plans to hold a Christian burial despite Leslie being a philosophical Buddhist
who abhorred religion. Ben tries to persuade Jack to honor Leslie's wish to be cremated, to no avail, and Jack
threatens to have Ben arrested if he attends the funeral. Ben initially decides not to go and prevents his children
from doing so, but then changes his mind, driving his children across the country on a repurposed school bus.
The family briefly stays at the home of Ben's sister, Harper. She and her husband try to convince Ben that the
children should attend school to receive a conventional education; Ben quizzes Harper's children and his
children on various topics, illustrating that his children are better educated and embarrassing Harper and her
husband.
Later on their road trip, some of Ben's children start to doubt him and his parenting skills, with his second eldest
son and middle child Rellian accusing him of failing to treat Leslie's mental health, and eldest son Bodevan
accusing him of not equipping them for the real world, showing him acceptance letters from several top Ivy
League colleges to which Leslie had helped him apply.
Ben arrives at Leslie's funeral with their children and reads her will, which instructs her family to cremate her
and flush her ashes down a toilet. In response, Jack has Ben forcibly removed from the church. Angered by
Jack's refusal to respect Leslie's wishes, Ben follows the funeral procession to the cemetery, planning to
intervene, despite a police presence and Jack's threat to have him arrested. Ben relents at his children's
insistence that they cannot lose both of their parents.
Rellian runs away to live with his grandparents, who want custody of all the children. When one of Ben's older
twin daughters Vespyr tries to clandestinely exfiltrate Rellian from their grandparents on Ben's orders, she falls
from the roof and narrowly avoids breaking her neck. Ben, shocked and guilty, allows Jack to take his children.
Although the children bond with their grandparents, they quietly decide to follow Ben and reunite with him.
The children desire to honor Leslie's final wishes, and persuade Ben to help them. Exhuming her corpse, they
burn it on a funeral pyre then flush her ashes down an airport toilet. Bodevan then leaves the family to travel
through Namibia, while the rest settle into a more "real world" life on a farm. The final scene shows the school-
age children eating breakfast around the kitchen table with their father, waiting for the school bus to arrive.
