How to Make It Happen with the Power of Your Intuition

Do you use the power of intuition in your life?

So many times in my life I have ignore this inner knowing to either do something or not do something. And only later have I discovered to my dismay that I “should” have followed my inner voice.

At other times, I have followed this guidance and things have truly worked out well. There was the time when I followed an impulse to attend a seminar and I discovered the world of coaching. Another time, I ended up in India at Nirvana School!

Another time, I took a soul nourishing digital sabbatical and it did me the world of good.

When To Trust Your Gut

If you’ve ever gone with your gut when making a decision—and gotten eye rolls from pragmatic friends in the process—take heart. New findings in the Journal of Consumer Research give credibility to those of us who bring emotions into the decision-making equation. And the more we trust our emotions, the more likely it is that a decision will be the right one.

What Kind Of Decision-Maker Are You?  

Researchers from Columbia Business School conducted eight studies where they compared people who trusted their feelings in making decisions and judgments—such as predicting who would win the NCAA championship or American Idol—with those who didn’t feel confident in their ability to correctly predict events. The results: Those who trusted their feelings were consistently more accurate than those who didn’t.

The Imprecision of Intuition

Managers often think they have a good handle on who their best customers are. But the truth is, their intuition is often at odds with reality, says Jonathan Bein, senior partner of Real Results Marketing. Managers often think they have a good handle on who their best customers are. But the truth is, their intuition is often at odds with reality, says Jonathan Bein, senior partner of Real Results Marketing.

The problem is that „intuition is imprecise“ and often based on outdated information, Bein says in the recent MDM Webcast, Data into Dollars. Your company has likely faced changes in the business climate – both up and down over the past few years. And that may have shifted your sweet spot, where your best or most profitable customers are. „The sweet spot from 2008 is not the sweet spot from 2010 which is probably not the sweet spot from 2012,“ he says.Weiterlesen


The Irrationality of Irrationality: The Paradox of Popular Psychology

The following was originally published on ScientificAmerican.com.

In 1996, Lyle Brenner, Derek Koehler and Amos Tversky conducted a study involving students from San Jose State University and Stanford University. The researchers were interested in how people jump to conclusions based on limited information. Previous work by Tversky, Daniel Kahneman and other psychologists found that people are “radically insensitive to both the quantity and quality of information that gives rise to impressions and intuitions,” so the researchers knew, of course, that we humans don’t do a particularly good job of weighing the pros and cons. But to what degree? Just how bad are we at assessing all the facts?

The Power of Intuition – Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman is a Senior Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is also the recipient of The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.

Every author, I suppose, has in mind a setting in which readers of his or her work could benefit from having read it. Mine is the proverbial o€ffice watercooler, where opinions are shared and gossip is exchanged. I hope to enrich the vocabulary that people use when they talk about the judgments and choices of others, the company’s new policies, or a colleague’s investment decisions. Why be concerned with gossip? Because it is much easier, as well as far more enjoyable, to identify and label the mistakes of others than to recognize our own. Questioning what we believe and want is di€ffcult at the best of times, and especially di€fficult when we most need to do it, but we can benefit Weiterlesen

Die Wurzeln des Unglaubens – Analyse versus Intuition

Wer analytisch denkt, neigt weniger dazu, an Götter, Engel und Teufel zu glauben. Diese Ursache des Nicht-Glaubens wirkt auch dann, wenn Menschen auf subtile Art zum analytischen Denken angestoßen werden – zum Beispiel durch Bilder oder bestimmte Wörter.

Der Denker

Wer bestimmte Kunstwerke betrachtet, könnte dadurch seinen Glauben verlieren. Zumindest kurzzeitig. Denn nach einem Blick auf ein Bild der Skulptur „Der Denker“ von Auguste Rodin, geben Menschen weniger häufig an, religiös zu sein, wie eine Studie der Psychologen Will M. Gervais und Ara Norenzayan von der Universität British Columbia in Vancouver ergeben hat.Die beiden Forscher wollten herausfinden, welche kognitiven Grundlagen hinter religiösem Unglauben stehen. Eine Frage, die den beiden Wissenschaftlern zufolge bisher noch kaum untersucht worden ist, ob wohl in den letzten Jahren das Interesse an den kognitiven Grundlagen des Glaubens gestiegen ist.Weiterlesen
