How reliable is our intuition? Can we rely on it when we shop at a store, choose a mate, hire employees, or evaluate our own abilities? Prominent American psychologist David Myers skillfully shows that intuition, while awakening in us amazing insight, can sometimes lead us dangerously astray. Drawing on modern data from psychological science, Myers discusses the strengths and weaknesses of using intuition in cases where judges and juries evaluate the credibility of testimony when psychologists and psychiatrists identify criminal tendencies, when managers make decisions about hiring new employees. The author's analysis of the phenomenon of intuition extends to all areas of human activity, including sports, banking, medicine, professional selection, gambling, extrasensory perception and many others.
