How "Aha!" really happens.....

When do you get your best ideas? You probably answer "At night" or "In the shower" or "Stuck in traffic". You get a flash of insight. Things come together in your mind. You connect the dots. You say to yourself, "Aha! I see what to do."

Brain science now reveals how these flashes of insight happen. It's a special form of intuition. We call it strategic intuition, because it gives you an idea for action - a strategy.

This new book by William Duggan is the first full treatment of strategic intuition. It's the missing piece of the strategy puzzle that makes essential reading for anyone interested in achieving more in any field of human endeavor.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would leave out the Buddhist influence which was introduced in a forced and contorted manner. It failed to strengthen the basic premise of the book which was its chief reason for existence.

Do you think Strategic Intuition needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, it is a stand alone book that needs no defence, nor follow up.

Any additional comments?

The key concept, that great moves forward in human culture are very often, if not always, the intuitive use of concepts that are circulating in the contemporary culture, is a useful insight. The overemphasis of what will one day be known as a 'classical eduction' through school and university as well as the popular drive towards team work fails to recognise that the key to much progress and insight rests in the particular wiring of an individuals brain that brings together much knowledge and reshapes it into an insight of genius. This book is a refreshing acknowledgement of this concept.

I loved this audiobook. I've ordered the book, too. Great insight into the way we make decisions - maybe.

Great Work

One of my favorite books. Although not super practical - does provide a hint at a framework for thinking differently on how to improve strategic thinking and innovation.

Fresh and usefull point of view

I'm really enjoying this audiobook. It offers a new insight and perspective in to "intuition".
The narrator is also fairly good but comes across as an experienced news reader and you can tell they don't understand the actual content because his "gentle" style has the same pattern that doesn't vary much over the 7 hours.
I agree with the other comment that there is too much focus on Bill Gates and Intel - something that might not appeal to non-geeks.

Intuition and Bill Gates

an expert makes tactical decisions based on shortcut methods that dont follow a series of sequencial steps to arrive to a conclusion which is not posible in trades that deal with critical situations. then it goes on to explain how with a twist you can now use the same methods to use strategic intution.

It makes perfect sense, great insights
