Should You Trust Your Gut? The Science Behind Intuition and Decision-Making

from Standard Deviations with Dr. Daniel Crosby · host Dr. Daniel Crosby

We are a nation in love with the idea of trusting intuition, but does it actually help us to make effective decisions? In today's episode we examine some of the research in favor of - and against - this notion of trusting your gut. What emerges is a complex picture that shows intuition to have some real, almost metaphysical power, that is domain specific in the usefulness of its application.
