Don Henley
motivation
Don Henley seems much more objective, unemotional and matter-of-fact than he really is. Despite his fussiness and perfectionism (described in the previous chapter), he is actually very caring and loving. Don Henley needs to make sure to openly express his feelings because otherwise, others do not realize how much he cares about them.
Don has powerful emotional attachments to the past, his family, his childhood, places he associates with safety and security, and his beginnings. It is very important to Henley to maintain a connection with his roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Henley tends to cling to whatever is dear to him - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.
He is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Don likes to be needed and to care for others, and he often worries about the people he loves. Don Henley has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of his life centers on his home. He is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society.

He is primarily emotional and his views are often dominated by his feelings and his own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles.
