Okay, so Professional is "rebuild his career." Personal is "be a leader to the group of actors." Private is (I think) "Learn how to REALLY care about something other than himself." He writes childrens books, he's a spokesman for Save the Pandas, he wants to adopt a foreign toddler...but these are all things he does to show others that he cares deeply. It's obvious that he doesn't (that's why he has trouble crying at the start of the film.) By the end of the film (**SPOILER ALERT**) he's able to honestly and emotionally call Laz his friend.

Rebuilding his career is the professional one, right? Still wondering how important it is to have all 3 of them clearly stated, because mostly when the 2nd question is asked: "What’s he trying to accomplish? " only the Professional Problem is stated.
