There is a ChangeThis manifesto by Laura Huang on July 30, 2025 titled Trusting Your Gut Feel: Listening to What Whispers, Not What Screams. It also is presented as a 9-page pdf. In large orange lettering she says that:
“Intuition is the process that leads to a final moment of recognition that we call our gut feel.
Gut feel is fully and absolutely effective in the right contexts – inadequate, even damaging, in the wrong ones.
Gut feel is the result of data plus experience, colliding and combining to create a remarkable reaction, not unlike the nuclear reaction that occurs when atoms collide.”
Laura refers to her 2025 book, You Already Know: The science of mastering your intuition. There is a brief Google Books preview ending on page 13.
Her Chapter 3 starting on page 23 is titled Gut Feel Is Sensed in Three Ways and is subtitled Water presents as a liquid, solid or gas. Our gut feel manifests in three forms too. On page 28 there is a 2x2 table, my color version of which is shown above. It shows her three types of intuition based on priors and prompts: Jolt, Eureka, and Spidey Sense.
Her Chapter 4 starting on page 33 is titled Gut Feel Doesn’t Lie and subtitled For complex and chaotic problems, gut feel can always be trusted. On page 51 there is a table, my version of which is shown above, describing how to solve four types of problems: simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic.
Her Chapter 8 starting on page 101 is titled Emotional: How Do I Feel That? and subtitled Our embodied gut feel is honed when we perceive where in our bodies we physically feel signals. On page 112 she has a 2x2 chart from another article describing The Emotional Circumplex, my color version of which is shown above.
