Fascinating book. A worthwhile read.
This is a really interesting and innovative book. It deals with the biology of intuition. Also discusses implicit learning. The author has made some novel connections between the workings of the mind and intuition. This is an area that is only now beginning to be looked at and understood. An interesting field that deserves a lot more attention.
