A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .
We describe hospitality as “making room,” and we tend to think of this as making room in physical space—making room at our table or making a bed available in our home. The practice of stopping is a different sort of making room. Interruptibility is a practice of making room in time, finding space for others in the midst of our busy day. That’s the inhospitality of hurry; there’s no room for you in my schedule.

Just as it was with beliefs and family, exploring the perspectives of those who have had a different cultural experience gets us to an “unknown place” in our own Level 4 understanding. If we think we don’t have biases, that presumption is a pretty good indication of our Level 4 limitations, which provides a rich area for intentional accelerated growth.
The Map

One of the best studies was done by Kimberly Stanhope and Peter Havel from the University of California, Davis. They took overweight men and women and provided meals in which 25 per cent of the calories were from glucose or 25 percent from fructose. Individuals took these meals for 10 weeks. Fat accumulation was measured at the beginning and end of the study using special X-rays (computerized tomography or CT scanning). In those individuals that ate a fructose-enriched diet, there was a significant increase in visceral fat compared to those given a glucose-based diet.115 The fructose fed individuals also developed worse insulin resistance and higher serum triglycerides following their meals.
