Synopsis
'EVERYDAY INTUITION changed my life. This is not an exaggeration! After a lifetime of gaslighting myself into an anxious mess, this book gave me the permission to trust my instincts. Liz Greenwood goes further and deeper than most reporters, and the result is Janet Malcolm meets Mel Robbins, but millennial.' Jean Hannah EdelsteinA captivating and insightful deep dive into the world of human intuition, exploring the power of this elusive phenomenon and how it can be harnessed to better know and trust ourselves.We rely on our intuition, even though we don't fully understand what it is, how it works, or if we can even trust it. In this fresh, mind-opening book, Elizabeth Greenwood takes us on a sweeping investigation into the subject, exploring how, in our data-driven world, we can harness intuition in our day-to-day lives.Digging deep into her personal experience as well as insights from neuroscience, psychology, , feminist texts, psychics, and everyday people with extraordinary intuitive ability, Greenwood explores what we know about intuition-how to distinguish it from instinct, wishful thinking, anxiety, and denial; how it serves and sometimes fails us; how it impacts our dreams and unconscious behavior; and how it manifests in everything from romantic attraction to premonitions. Greenwood places a special emphasis on "women's intuition," and how it has been denigrated throughout history-but can offer us a more hopeful, grounded way of experiencing the world in a time of so much uncertainty.Everyday Intuition provides practical advice on tapping into our self-knowledge and learning to trust our instincts. It examines the science behind intuition, including how our brains process information, how psychedelic medicine and manifestation are opening new doors of consciousness-as well as how these helpful methods are being abused by charlatans, including some "coaches," "teachers," and social media influencers offering false promises-and how we can train ourselves to be more intuitive and ultimately enhance our daily lives.Smart, funny, sincere, and profound, this helpful guide is a modern take on one of the oldest tools we possess. It shows us how embracing intuition can lead us to our truest, most mindful selves, and to better align the lives we are living with the lives we desire.
