Gut Feelings: How Intuition Works and When to Trust It
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Intuition, or "gut feelings," is a rapid judgment influenced by the entire nervous system and emotions, not just rational thought, according to biologist Dr. Liat Yakir. Research by Kahneman and Tversky supports that decisions are affected by emotions and biases. Past traumas can distort these feelings, making it crucial to process experiences and reduce stress for better decision-making. Understanding the source of our feelings is essential to avoid repeating negative patterns.
