If Brett Gurewitz 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 insatiable appetites, his stubbornness, his grimness, and his reluctance to change are all potential inhibitors to his growth.

Brett Gurewitz may experience discord in relationships. Although he is friendly and outgoing and 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, he 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 he succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

Brett Gurewitz is curious but sometimes undiscriminating. He is high-strung and fluctuating; he sometimes has trouble disciplining his mind. Because he finds change and variety especially stimulating and pleasant, he may be a bit fickle as a partner in a relationship or friendship. Many of his conflicts with other people are due to his instability and lack of self-control. If he succeeds in mastering and channeling his considerable mental energy, he could be extremely effective in such fields as communications and teaching.
