In the best-selling book and movie Eat Pray Love, the main character, Liz (played by Julia Roberts in the film), travels to Bali, Indonesia, and meets Ketut, a spiritual medicine man. As their friendship develops, one thing Liz learns from Ketut is how to slow down her listening style to better match Balinese culture—taking lots of time to listen to others and prioritizing the concerns of friends and family over her own schedule.
