I think this is a confusion of causation and correlation: When the time comes and you are so motivated to do something that you're willing to move, your motivation levels are probably so high that you could have changed without moving. Or perhaps moving is just like any other tool for behavior change: sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
I know this flies in the face of everything the author said, but I'm reluctant when it comes to accepting anecdotal evidence. At least when the suggested remedy is as expensive as moving.
- johnchristopher 8y agoYour reasoning is as much an anecdote but it doesn't even come from actual personal experience. There are evidences that moving to a different environment has an impact on behaviour, see https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/01/02/144431794/what-vietnam-taught-us-about-breaking-bad-habits https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/01/02/1444317... Granted that article is click-baity and devoid of helpful and actionable advice. Ít's a blog post to promote a self-help coach dude. edit: funny, looks like he has an update https://www.thebehavioralscientist.com/blog/cheaper-ways-to-change-than-moving https://www.thebehavioralscientist.com/blog/cheaper-ways-to-...
