Interesting read....but that is about it,if you are trying to understand how intuition works, and how to make yours function better this book pretty much doesn't do that. It breaks down why certain snap decisions are made by people, and describes a process the author calls thin slicing....but as for useful info for a poker player it's not really there other then to trust your gut more than you do. But basically the author comes out and says that the reason that some people have better intuition then others is there ability to trust their gut without having a rational answer behind it, because it is so difficult to put a quantitative measure on your gut feeling.
