Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1999

Don't work harder, work smarter.

We've all know them: people who seem to effortlessly run on the fast track. They don't necessarily work harder or put in longer hours; what they do work is their intuition, that powerful sixth sense that tells them how to turn any situation to their advantage.

The good news, says Laura Day, bestselling author of Practical Intuition, is that each of us has the capacity to use intuition to enhance our success. Now she has created a step-by-step program to help you hone your gut instinct to guide you through the ever-changing landscape pf work and business. Day shows you how to bring forth your intuition, make it stronger, and make it wok for you. And the more you practice it, the better the results. Whether you are a manager, investor, or entrepreneur, Day shows how you can:

• solve problems quickly

• create winning business plans and strategies

• envision a new business

• uncover hidden agendas

• take the "pulse" at meetings to better position yourself

• evaluate the stock market

Practical intuition for success. You've already got it; let Day teach you to use it--and get the most out of your career.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Laura Day has sold millions of copies of Practical Intuition and continues her advice here with tips for improving your career using your own intuitive skills. She says that people are more apt to use their intuition about commonplace issues than they are about investment or business practices, a horrible waste of intuitive powers. Through dozens of exercises, Day describes how you can boost your intuitive power, "become" your competition, and better predict the future. Day makes no guarantees that you'll pick the next blue-chip bond or invent the next wheel, but she does assert that your life can't help but improve if you take her ideas to heart. This book is a combination of Jon Kabat-Zinn's, mindfulness meditation theories and What Color is Your Parachute-ish self-reflection. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enlightening!, May 28, 2000

By 

Joric S. Sanchez (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Practical Intuition for Success: Let Your Interests Guide You To the Career of Your Dreams (Paperback)

The author opens the reader's mind to the vast potential of one's intution, and how it can be harnessed for success. She shows the reader that intuition can be relied on to answer the simplest of everyday questions to the most difficult business or professional problem. What I found most helpful in the book were the exercises. The exercises showed how intuition manifests itself in everyday life and how I could attune myself to my own intuition. Moreover, the author provided a lot of anecdotes to crystalize her points. A VERY GOOD READ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reframes Thinking on Intuition, July 14, 2002

By 

Robert Jerus (Davenport, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Practical Intuition for Success: Let Your Interests Guide You To the Career of Your Dreams (Paperback)

From a practical standpoint, Day separates thinking of emotions, pure logic and reasoning from intuition. She defines this intuitive thinking as logical and, essential for success. Her thoughts are quite compelling. Rather than the pure gut feeling or abstractions that generally constitute intuition, Day develops an understanding of how this skill can be cultivated from both thought and feeling. Rather than an illogical urge, it becomes a developed sense. The exercises and examples extensively developed empower the reader to adapt this skill for personal achievement. A good read.

This review is from: Practical Intuition for Success: Let Your Interests Guide You To the Career of Your Dreams (Paperback)

This is a good book it's longer then some of her other ones and it has a lot more exercises in it then some of her other books so unless you have a lot of time on your hands it will take a while to read it. But, other then that it is a good book and I did enjoy it. I'm going to start to read practical intuition in love.
