Author Gina Giacomini is one of those great teachers who actually wants you to learn her subject; and she really is effective. You will learn intuition even if you are the darnedest rationalist who ever lived. If you are not a "darnedest rationalist", but can take a shot at learning something that seems unusual at first but might be quite useful in daily life, then read this book.
Everyone has a level of competency in the mechanics of daily life. But perhaps a little intuition will find ways around barriers, or even missing information. Is now a good time to ask for a raise? What is bothering that client? Should I accept this new job offer? Is this person being honest with me? How do I set my goals for the day, for life--besides just running over everybody?
I learned an intuitive yes/no technique taught in the book that gets me out of little jams every day.
Over the years, I had heard some of the minds of the 20th century used intuition: Einstein, Edison and my favorite intuitionist, Nichola Tessla (just a single idea of his was "stolen" to become the foundation for Westinghouse). And Mozart wrote that he sees a composition in his mind and then writes down the notes.
What I mean with all this is that even if you are a biochemist studying the hair on the back of a virus, or an administrator, secretary or salesperson, or the President, this book will help and it will be fun to implement in life. If you had no idea of life beyond the mechanics, you will have a different impression after reading this book. That could be life changing, actually.
Having been a confirmed rationalist most of my life, with a little intuition I have become a bit more civilized and approachable, and perhaps a little more aware of and willing to understand people around me at work and at home.
