Publisher's Synopsis
In our society, according to the author, logic is overvalued and intuition mistrusted. Yet many professionals - scientists, salesmen, managers, doctors, film-makers - use intuition to reach their most creative and effective decisions.;Laurie Nadel's book is an enquiry into intuition and its relationship to other modes of thought. It is also a practical guide to improving the reader's intuition. First, she says, you must know what intuition feels like and learn to recognize it; then you must trust it; and finally know how and when to use it. The book contains interviews with celebrities like Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Sacks and Roger Sperry, showing how they rely on intuition; and ends with a ten-step programme for enhancing intuition.
