"THE impulse to drop everything and start a whole new life is surely among the most received and rejected of all human signals for change. But I've got awfully skeptical over the years about the value of physically transplanting oneself.

As I look back on the big moves that I considered and never made,there's nothing in memory now that I really wish I'd done. Maybe I missed a few great opportunities for self-improvement. But if I have any regret and I do it's that I haven't worked hard enough at altering my private, interior geography, that I haven't been more adventurous in the travels I've made within myself."
