    The most interesting part of this book are the case studies. However, the author really struggles with making his point clear and precise. He takes quite a long time to properly state what he even wants to achieve and then tells a lot of stories that are loosely connected to his point but also not really. Basically, the moral of the story is that with experience you gain a gut instinct which is your brain being so used to paying attention to certain things that it gathers and interprets all the details without you noticing, and as a result of that you "know" things without being able to explain why. If the author was trying to make the point that we all should listen more to our "gut" then he totally failed to scientifically prove it or make any other impactful statement. It's an interesting little read when you have already done your research and are not looking to gain any real new insights into that topic but otherwise, there are better books to spend your time on.
