EVERYDAY INTUITION

Elizabeth Greenwood

What Psychology, Science, and Psychics Can Teach Us About Finding and Trusting Our Inner Voice

Critically acclaimed author, Elizabeth Greenwood's next book, Everyday Intuition, is a rigorous, journalistic exploration of intuition with a personal, literary, comedic approach. This book will pick up where Blink by Malcom Gladwell left off, filling in crucial context: intuition updated, decolonized, unafraid of the feminine.

In this thought-provoking, entertaining read, Greenwood explores what we're talking about when we talk about intuition. Is it internal, a gut feeling to steer you toward safety and away from danger? Is it external, the wisdom of our ancestors and guides? Is it just anxiety? After researching and contemplating these questions, and an adventurous regimen of guinea pig testing, trial-and-error, and speaking to the world's top experts on either end of the intuitive spectrum, from neuroscientists to psychic mediums, Greenwood has come to recognize intuition for what it is: A way to live a fuller, more present, less anxious life.

Everyday Intuition follows Greenwood's path as she develops her own intuition into a finely honed instrument, and applies to all matters, from what to eat, who we should spend time with to how to spend our life, and putting these hard-earned lessons as well as advice from experts into practice for the reader.

Elizabeth Greenwood is the author of three critically acclaimed nonfiction books: Playing Dead: A Journey Through the World of Death Fraud, currently in development as a scripted series for Netflix with Mindy Kaling executive producing; Masters at Work: Becoming a Yoga Teacher; and Love Lockdown: Dating, Sex, and Marriage in America's Prisons, currently in development as a scripted series for HBOMax with Lena Dunham executive producing. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Esquire, Entrepreneur, GQ, O, the Oprah Magazine, and others. She has earned fellowships from MacDowell, Hedgebrook, the Norman Mailer Center and more, and teaches writing at Columbia University.
