How do we stand the best chance of survival? What happens when our bodies get old and stop working?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo satisfy this need for answers, we evolved a trait called intuition: an instinctive, protective, first responder among thoughts that sets our minds at ease and makes the world seem a little bit less scary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the concepts of God, religion, and the soul are intuitive ones, the results of scientific thinking are usually considered counterintuitive-feeling \"odd,\" or contrary to a person's first thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIntuitive\/Counterintuitive: The Structure of Religion and Science\u003c\/i\u003e, research chemist Richard C. Johnson takes readers on a fascinating philosophical exploration of the concept of intuition, including the examination of many of the myths and misconceptions humans have fallen prey to over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing accessible language and a conversational tone, Johnson takes an evidence-based approach-bringing into question the true meaning of \"wisdom\" and demonstrating how rational thought must be applied to build upon the foundation of an intuitive belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard C.
