"This book was a great introduction to the scientifically unexplained sense of intuition. Gigerenzer adds great illustrations that aid in understanding his theory. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone who knows the answer without knowing all or any of the facts."
"The intuition can be a better guide than our explicit reasoning, and that we really should try to heed it.
Also that a "fast and frugal" decision tree may be a much better practical tool than a comprehensive decision tree - and maybe that is what all that AI work on heuristics was groping towards?"
"Annotated study on the value of instinctive responses over rational ones
According to Freud and other intellectuals and philosophers, intuition is unsound and has no merit. Freud warns not to put any value on gut feelings. Instead, people should trust logic and reasoning. German psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer begs to differ. He claims that intuition often works far better than reason to solve problems and make decisions. Gigerenzer details numerous studies that repeatedly demonstrate intuition's ability to trump logic. He illustrates how people with less information often make better decisions than experts. getAbstract recommends Gigerenzer's book to people who want to understand and improve the way they make decisions. As Alexander Pope said, "Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise." Gigerenzer might agree. What do you think? More to the point, what do you feel in your gut?"
"This is an intriguing work on human decision making. The argument is that evolution has given us an adaptive toolkit of decision making tools. Based on experience over eons, shortcuts for making decisions came about. And, accroding to the author, studies suggest that these can be more effective than statistical analysis. For instan ce, "Take the Best." In maing decisions, you simply accept the first choice that looks like it will work. That's it!
Well written and relatively short. Quite useful indeed."
