Required reading

In the process of researching Everyday Intuition, I read HUNDREDS of books on topics including but not limited to: the enteric nervous system, feminism, the history of the witch hunts, consciousness, evolutionary psychology, Jungian dream analysis, psychedelics, shamanism, Spiritualism, C-PTSD, embodiment, the Vagus nerve, the chakra system, hostage negotiation, disaster preparedness, animals predicting earthquakes, and books about decision making that you might encounter in a MBA program, can you believe it?!

If you’re like “doesn’t sound like you read a lot on INTUITION, hunny!” here’s the thing: intuition touches almost every facet of life, turns out. And the problem with a great many books explicitly on intuition is that they are very polarizing. On one side you have books that say intuition sucks! On the other side you have books that are like intuition is everything! I wrote my book to fill a gap in the bookshelf, to say intuition IS data and it can enhance your life in every conceivable way when you practice developing it.

So check out my short video on some books about intuition that are actually about intuition that were formative in my writing.

DISCUSSED:

Blink by Malcom Gladwell because how can you not. I’ll be doing a whole post about her in a future electronic missive.

The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker because ladies don’t get killed!

The In-Betweens by Mira Ptacin 10/10 literary nonfiction writing!!!

Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a lifelong companion.

In between watching videos of strangers from the internet, might I recommend:

Margo’s Got Money Troubles: Postpartum OnlyFans? Say less.

Pamela Anderson on Fresh Air is a genius?! Really want to see The Last Showgirl

I did it, I sat through 215 minutes of The Brutalist and wanted to high five my fellow audience members when the credits rolled.

If you live in NYC and have little kids you’re trying to keep from climbing up the walls on these cold winter weekends, I highly recommend Space Club in Ft Greene. Making necklaces with Theo is the most relaxed I’ve felt in a LONG time.

A.Mano is a perfect gift shop in Prospect Heights and their latte Parka Weather is a spicy cup of hope.

And some things that have been making me laugh.

And don’t forget! My inbox is open for confusing situations where anxiety and intuition are hard to disentangle. Tell me your drama and I give you my expert advice!
