Summary of Gary Klein's The Power of Intuition

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We shouldn’t simply follow our intuitions. Our intuitions are not always reliable. They can be wrong, and we must be careful not to follow them blindly. We must strengthen our intuitions so that they become more accurate and provide us with better insights. #2 We all have an intuition, which is based on accumulated and compiled experiences. We rely on intuition to make all sorts of judgments. The magical view of intuition has been debunked, and it is now understood that intuition is not a bias that must be suppressed. #3 The researchers who are skeptical of intuition explain that they wouldn’t want to risk their lives on their intuitive decisions. But in a sense, they do so every day. Their immune systems make decisions every time their white blood cells come into contact with a new entity. Is it safe, or is it a threat. #4 We need intuition, but we can’t use analysis to substitute for intuition. We must therefore improve the quality of our intuitions if we want to make better intuitive decisions.
