Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious by Gerd Gigerenzer

3.0

There are a bunch of new "science of choice" books on the market, and I think Gut Feelings preceded and anticipated most of them. The book's central thesis is that sometimes when we're just guessing, we're relying on information we may not know we know (for instance, in someone with a basic knowledge of geography, having heard of a country usually indicates it is more populous). The writing was clear and diagrams helpful.
