Glad to hear it.

I read an interesting piece the other day about psychoanalysis vs behaviorism.

VAST OVERSIMPLIFICATION: Psychoanalysis attempts to understand why people do what they do. Behaviorism attempts so change what what people do.

For example, if a behaviorist wanted to get better at playing the guitar by practicing more, s/he would place the guitar by the couch, where it would be easy to see and to pick up and play more.

We change our environment, and our environment changes us. I think that moving to Spain is going to change a lot more than just our bank balances.

Buena suerte, mi amigo!
