Brandon Boyd experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Brandon Boyd is a social being oriented toward other people, whose personal interests often mingle with those of his associates or those of the group to which he belongs. He is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If Brandon wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

Brandon Boyd’s intuition and thoughts predominate in his psyche. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, and eager to participate in everything happening around him. He has affections that are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, Brandon would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Brandon is light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, never allowing himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, Brandon’s buoyancy borders on indifference.

Brandon Boyd struggles to find a way to harmonize with the physical world and its limitations. He is idealistic and disconnected from practical considerations, and barely pays attention to material things like food, money, and his surroundings. He tends to be footloose and fancy-free, unaware of the necessities of survival in the physical world until his lack of material resources becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead him to see himself as unfit for this world. He may think he cannot attach himself to anything that would sustain his efforts at self-expression. However, his impractical nature offers many positive aspects. He sees life’s possibilities as limitless and develops his imagination or pursues a spiritual quest to transcend the material world.
