Your gut is right more often than you think. It's also wrong in ways you can predict.
"Trust your instincts" is useless advice on its own. Sometimes your instincts are decades of pattern recognition arriving faster than conscious thought. Sometimes they're fear wearing a convincing disguise. The difference is knowable - and it has been studied for forty years.
Intuition Over Noise is a short, practical guide to telling one from the other.
It's built on the research rather than around it. You'll learn the two conditions that determine whether a gut feeling deserves trust - established by the psychologists who spent decades disagreeing about intuition before publishing a joint paper reconciling their views. You'll learn why a confident feeling about an unfamiliar investment is worth less than an uneasy feeling about a relationship you've been in for years, and why that isn't arbitrary.
