　　這本書將顛覆人們對直覺的刻板印象！
 
　　現任美國東北大學管理與組織發展學教授、暢銷書《隱性優勢》作者黃樂仁（Laura Huang），獲獎無數，2021年更入選Thinkers50全球雷達榜，被認為有潛力改變理論與實務界的思想家。
 
　　作者在經過上百次與企業家、投資高手、奧運選手、普立茲獎得主……等各界最優異的人才的訪談後，發現這些奇才之所以能夠脫穎而出，努力絕對是重要的原因，但他們口中的「直覺」或「第六感」更為關鍵。
 
　　乍聽之下，這似乎不夠科學？這位頂尖的商學院教授，將以科學方式深入解析直覺產生的過程：我們每個人都擁有直覺，直覺源自於我們「已知」與「未曾察覺的已知」，過往我們以為這種看似靈光乍現的預感是偶發的，但事實上，「直覺」是可以主動培養的能力。藉由書中提到的練習方式，我們將能夠學到：
 
　　●將直覺從被動偶發，轉化為主動有意識的能力
　　●鍛鍊出更穩定可靠的直覺訊號
　　●提升對自己內在訊號的敏感度
 
　　本書提供實際的模型，讓讀者能夠學習強化這項強大卻經常被忽略的資源，進而幫助自己做出更好的選擇、果斷行動，實現最具野心的目標，達到更高的成就。(文/博客來編譯)

From celebrated business school professor and author of Edge, a research-backed framework for honing and harnessing your intuition to make the right decisions and attain greater levels of achievement.

What sets the most successful people apart? You may think that the correct answer is hard work (and it’s certainly part of it), but in her interviews of the most accomplished individuals--from entrepreneurs and investors to Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners--Distinguished Professor of Management Laura Huang discovered that what they called their gut feel, the product of their intuition, played the most important role.

We all have intuition, our brain’s intelligent synthesis of external data and the entirety of our personal experiences. As such, it draws from what we already know and what we didn’t even realize we knew. This culminates in a gut feel that manifests as a eureka moment, a Spidey sense, or a jolt that changes how we see things and compels us to act. Most people experience these flashes of clarity passively, as random occurrences that come out of the blue.

In You Already Know, Laura Huang scientifically breaks down what happens during the intuiting process and details the personified, physical, emotional, and cognitive components of the gut feel that results. Along the way, she provides valuable exercises to help you recognize, understand, and strengthen your intuition. Purposeful practice enables you to:

- take it from passive and accidental to active and intentional
- develop it to deliver increasingly reliable signals
- heighten your own sensitivity to the signals it sends

Drawing on Huang’s pioneering research on individual judgments and decision-making, organizational psychology, and behavioral economics, as well as hundreds of interviews, You Already Know offers a highly practical model that equips you to leverage your most powerful and underutilized resource to make better decisions, take swift action, and accomplish your most ambitious goals.

As the external world gets ever noisier, often, the smartest thing you can do is turn your focus inward and trust your gut to guide you in the right direction.

Laura Huang is Distinguished Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship and Associate Dean of Executive Education at Northeastern University. Previously, she was on the faculty at Harvard Business School and at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. A Kauffman Fellow, she was a recipient of the 2020 Cozzarelli Prize given by the National Academy of Sciences and was named one of the world’s best 40 business school professors by Poets & Quants. In 2021 she was included on the Global Thinkers50 Radar list as one of the top thinkers with the potential to change the world of theory and practice. Her speaking and consulting clients include Google, Microsoft, McKinsey, Lululemon, Sanofi, Pandora, and Asana. She is the author of Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage.
