Not submitting a rating because I did not finish this book

I feel that intuition is an important concept and wanted to understand it more. Unfortunately this book came off quite quickly to me as a pseudoscience. I believe the evidence of this is the lack of a bibliography or references to any peer-reviewed research.

To be fair, I only got to page 22 but had to stop when I read the following:

... He gave a "go ahead" to these and said "no" to the city he felt queasy about. A few months later he learned that this city had been devastated by a major hurricane. Needless to say, he was very glad he had chosen to trust that gut feeling.

The context above was about a business owner trying to decide where to expand business operations.
That type of leap is not something I can accept. Not wanting to completely dismiss the book, I skimmed to the end to see what else was there. I started reading Chapter 26 that tries to make the case for intuition can be used to win the lottery. I made the decision to no go further with the book.

My intuition is telling me that this book is a waste of time and that Annie Duke's literature on decision making is much more researched and applicable. The advice that his book hands out sounds interesting and I want to learn more about, but all the anecdotes aren't backed up by any substance.

3.5 stars
Good info about ways to refine and tune your intuition in your career and business life.

Lots of lists of tips
The endless quotes got a bit repetitive for me.
I’m planning on referring to the tips and exercises in practice.

Love this book, really helping on a lot of issues I struggle with but also points out what I'm strong with and how to get better with intuitive thinking.

I definitely enjoyed her other book more — Divine Intuition. This felt a little too on the nose for me.

I'm practicing and learning how to listen quietly and I love to hear how other people are doing it too.

الكتاب جيد و له من اسمه نصيب فهو مبني على الحدس. الكثير من مواضيع الكتاب مبنية على حدس المؤلفة و اراءها الشخصية بالإضافة لسرد لبعض المواقف حدثت للكاتبة او رويت لها.
و لكي أكون صادقا لا أحب هذا النوع من الكتب الذي لا يعتمد على الحقائق العلمية و الدراسات الأكاديمية و التجارب الاجتماعية و شعرت للحظة و كأني في جلسة "سوالف" مع الأصدقاء.
هذا لا يعني ان الكتاب سيء يوجد في الكتاب حلول اعتبرها جيدة نوعا ما لاستخدام الحدس و أهمية توظيفة و طرق تطويره و لكن بنسبة قليلة.
