A group of amateurs beat the experts at playing the stock market. A man falls for the right woman even though she''s ''wrong'' on paper. All these people succeeded by trusting their instincts - but how does it work? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  As Gerd Gigerenzer explains, in an uncertain world, sometimes we have to ignore too much information and rely on our brain''s ''short cut'', or heuristic. By explaining how intuition works and analyzing the techniques that people use to make good decisions - whether it''s in personnel selection or heart surgery - Gigerenzer will show you the hidden intelligence of the unconscious mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''Fascinating and provocative ... \u003ci\u003eGut Feelings \u003c\/i\u003emay well be the recipe for a simpler, less stressful life''\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''Gigerenzer''s writing is catchily optimistic and slyly funny ...
