The intuition toolkit : the new science of knowing what without knowing why
Pearson, Joel2024
Book
Learn when it's safe to rely on intuition in decision-making and when it's not. Intuition has saved lives and averted disasters, and it also lies behind countless innovative decisions. Some people use intuition more readily than others but anyone can learn to develop and trust it. The key is ensuring that certain conditions are met so as to avoid the pitfalls. Neuroscientist Joel Pearson has identified five essential rules for using intuition, easily remembered by the acronym S.M.I.L.E: S: Self-awareness (Feeling emotional? Don't trust your intuition) M: Mastery (Learn before you leap: why mastery matters for intuition) I: Impulses and Addiction (These are not intuition) L: Low Probability (Don't use intuition for probabilistic judgments) E: Environment (Use intuition only in familiar and predictable contexts).
