Hear ye! Hear ye! She’s here and she’s looking at YOU! I’m thrilled to share the gorgeous cover of my new nonfiction book
EVERYDAY INTUITION: What Psychology, Science, and Psychics Can Teach Us About Finding and Trusting Our Inner Voice
This one came from such a personal place. I was determined to answer the question: Is it anxiety or intuition? And after three years of speaking to experts including but not limited to:
· neuroscientists
· gastroenterologists
· disaster preparedness experts
· FBI hostage negotiators
· somatic therapists
· shapersons
· entrepreneurs
· artists
· actors
· a narcotics-cop-turned-psychedelics-evangelist
· witches
· psychic mediums
· historians
· psychologists
· sociologists
· herbalists
· a magician!
· niche celebrities for the middle aged including Orna Guralnik and Michael Pollan
· everyday regular shmegular people who have learned the language of their intuition and how to trust it
· MY MOM
Dare I say….I have an answer. You can read about all that and more when you pre-oder here!
You probably know the song and dance about the importance of pre-orders, but allow me to refresh you: all pre-orders count toward first week sales, which is the only chance in hell someone who is not a celebrity memoirist or a grumpy Fox News anchor can hope to get on a bestsellers list. Order from whomever, including Satan, but know this: even if you order ten copies of the book Amazon only reports it as one?!?!? So just order from Satan ten different times!
Oh, and if you’re watching the holiday spending budget, fear not, you won’t get charged till the book ships in May! Make it a gift to your future self, and everyone you know!
Come January, I’ll be shifting this here newsletter toward intuition: sharing tips and tricks, along with interviews of some of the amazing geniuses I met on the reporting trail. Don’t worry, I’ll still lambast you with the same sordid tales, like last week when I passed out fell asleep in fake eyelashes from the internet and couldn’t open my eyes in the morning because they were sutured together by a bacterial infection! And I’ll always have recommendations galore. (Liz’s Pickz is dropping next week, for those of you eagerly refreshing your inboxes.)
I’m really excited to share the discoveries I made in writing this book. It’s called Everyday Intuition because it’s about just that: how we, as regular people, can learn to thread more magic and mystery through our lives, and how we can have more better days.
Critically acclaimed author Benjamin Lorr says….
If you have a hunch this book is for you, grab it! Everyday Intuition is a brilliant guide to one of our most mysterious, most misunderstood, and most fundamentally human faculties. Whether you come for the practical tips, eye-opening stories, or the many laugh-out-loud asides, Elizabeth Greenwood offers gem after gem to challenge your understanding of the mind, tease your preconceptions of the science, and help build your own intuition into a tool for life.
THANKS, BEN!
He recommends Everyday Intuition, and I do too, along with the following gems…
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more compliments on an article of clothing than I have on this coat, which you can get to match your toddler. It’s my Carroll Gardens camouflage. Here I am wearing it with Rebecca Auman, Walmart greeter of the underworld, who shared her wisdom for Everyday Intuition.
A man faked his death! Can you believe it?! There’s a really great book about that…

Earlybirds dance party: I’ll just say this: All women. Starts at 6pm, ends at 10pm sharp. The signature cocktail was the Hot Flash Margarita. I started the chorus of collective booing when DJ Kool said “To all the fellas…” Heaven is a place on earth.
