I use the terms gut feeling, intuition, or hunch interchangeably, to refer to a judgment 1. that appears quickly in consciousness, 2.whose underlying reasons we are not fully aware of, and 3. is strong enough to act upon.

— from The Mind in the Cockpit

In the book

The whole art is unlimiting — casting aside the cramped picture you once drew of your own potential. Then understand intuition, the fast system. Your gut feeling is not magic and not nonsense; it is your subconscious rapidly matching the situation against everything you have ever experienced. Freud warned that it is an illusion to expect everything from intuition — and he was half right. — The Mind in the Cockpit
