Trust your Gut: Go with your intuition and make better choices cover

Find out how to nurture your intuition and intuitive intelligence so you can make quicker and more accurate decisions in fast-moving situations with limited information, gain insights into other people’s states of mind, motives and intentions, sense what’s the right thing to do when you’re ethically challenged, and seek out creative solutions to your decisions and dilemmas. 

“From the first page Eugene Sadler provides a hugely engaging book, packed with fascinating stories, top academic research, and the practical wisdom of global names on the subject of decision making.  By the end of the book you will have a firm understanding of how to improve your decision making, when to ‘use your gut’ and just as important -  when not to!  A must read for company Executives.”  Richard Williams, former Global MD Mott MacDonald

 

“This book is dense with fascinating, and usable, insights. Eugene explains clearly what intuition is and isn't and under what conditions it's useful. I wish I'd have this knowledge much earlier in my life. I'd have relied less on 'sensing' when I should have been relying on 'solving' and vice versa. A riveting read.” Sally Bibb, author of The Strengths Book.


Trust Your Gut epitomizes Professor Sadler-Smith’s extraordinary dedication to studying intuition, which had a tremendous impact on the academic and practitioner worlds. Trust Your Gut and read this book; it will explain in a wonderfully captivating language that we know more than we think and that learning to feel that is the ultimate power for navigating an increasingly complex and ever-changing world.”  Marc Stierand, PhD, Director of Institute of Business Creativity, EHL Hospitality Business School, Lausanne, Switzerland

"Great leaders fundamentally do two things; make smart decisions and have a positive impact on people and this book has the potential to radically improve both. With so many leaders time poor, overwhelmed with the volume of decisions as well as AI just around the corner, developing our understanding of intuitive intelligence, when to trust it and when not to, will be important.  As a coach I help develop the potential of emotional intelligence and Mindset and this book has helped me realize there really is another intelligence to tap into. Thanks to Trust Your Gut I can now explore an intelligence we’ve always had, and with so many practical takeaways, I can coach people to apply their intuitive intelligence to improve the speed and quality of decisions, not just at work but in their personal lives too.  Highly recommended to leaders, coaches and anyone interested in improving the quality of their life through better decision making.”  Richard Thorp, Founding Partner, Wiseheart


“Our ability to understand when and when not to listen to our intuition often determines the difference between success or failure. This book provides clear guidance on when to 'trust your gut'.   A 'must-read' for leaders who want to improve their decision-making processes.” Dirk Verburg, Management Consultant and Executive Coach. Producer and Host 'Leadership 2.0' podcast, Switzerland

 

“Professor Eugene Sadler-Smith makes a powerful case that artificial intelligence is already augmenting sense and decision-making, that alongside our “intuitive knowing” will create a powerful hybrid intelligence that will change the way leaders lead; “feeling the way” will become synonymous with “leading the way”. Dr Garry Hargreaves, Director of the NATO Communications and Information Academy (NCI Agency)


“Intuition is a tricky aspect of decision making, being both a huge source of bias and a way we subconsciously process valuable information. Drawing together a rich body of research on the psychology of intuition, this immensely accessible book explains how we can navigate this tension, harness its benefits and avoid the pitfalls, to make better decisions.” Jonny Gifford, Principal Research Fellow, Institute for Employment Studies
