If Brady Noon wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution. His coolness and distance, his lack of consideration for others, his rigidity, his need for total control, and his fear of his emotions are all potential inhibitors to his growth.

Brady Noon often experiences discord in relationships. Although he is friendly and outgoing, and often commits himself to friendships and partnerships, he often finds it difficult to balance his own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. To understand and overcome this problem, Brady should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If Brady succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what kind of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

Brady Noon is fairly organized. He works long and hard to achieve his goals and elaborates fairly rigid strategies to protect himself against any foreseeable obstacles. He is so absorbed in his business that he does not always realize that he tends to be somewhat peremptory with the people around him and that he might do well to soften his tone and be more tactful at times. His friendships seem stifling and superfluous to him, and he is sometimes tormented by inner conflict when he is forced to submit to another’s will. To succeed, Brady Noon works to be less dogmatic. Trust in himself and other people and flexibility.

Brady Noon is endowed with great sensitivity and has profound aspirations, especially romantic ones. Nevertheless, his spirit is sometimes too delicate for him to have armored and structured himself for the constraints of life out there in the real world. Moreover, he sees little point in devoting himself to fulfilling the demands of practical reality, which strike him as rather futile and empty. His escapes into his fantasy world give him the illusion of a much greater reward. He tends to gloss over his vision of other people, and when they reveal their imperfections and incompetence, he feels guilty for them and suffers from his own vulnerability and illusions. Brady would do well to try to be more selective about the people he associates with; when he is moving in a dream world, he attracts the kind of dishonest people who are likely to take advantage of him.
