TRUST YOUR GUT INSTINCTS?

We’re often told to follow our hearts and trust our instincts – but is intuition really the best guide for big decisions? Or are we fooling ourselves with fast-but-flawed thinking?

From life-saving snap judgments to mental shortcuts that mislead us, the truth about intuition is more complex than it seems.

So when should you trust your gut, and when should you slow down and think things through with rational logic and cold hard facts?
