Intuition: Its Powers and Perils (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780300103038)

How reliable is our intuition? How much should we depend on gut-level instinct rather than rational analysis? In this engaging book, David G. Myers shows us that while intuition can provide us with useful--and often amazing--insights, it can also dangerously mislead us.
"Myers' book brilliantly establishes intuition as a legitimate subject of scientific inquiry."--Michael Shermer, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A lively and thorough review of the powers and pitfalls of gut instinct."--Eric Bonabeau, Harvard Business Review
"[Intuition is a book] that may help you make optimal use of your intuition. . . . [It] offers scientific grounding in the subject and practical steps for becoming more intelligently intuitive."--Money Magazine's e-mail newsletter
"Delightfully readable and deliberately provocative."--Publishers Weekly (front cover)
"Entertaining, intelligent, and easy to read, Myers's book offers an abundance of research findings dealing with what is more aptly called the 'nonconscious' mind."--Choice
"Intuition is a one-of-a-kind book by one of the best writers in psychology. Exceptionally reasonable, totally up-to-date, and responsible, the book has the potential to be a classic in the field."--Robert J. Sternberg, 2003 president, American Psychological Association
