A Skeptic's Guide to Intuition is a well balanced book that looks at the numerous possibilities for what we call "intuition" and walks a fine line between the rational and the unknown.  As a 50/50 right/left brain person I appreciate this measured and thoughtful way to observe and  study this topic. The book clearly walks that line while making an excellent case for its usefulness in our lives. As I read I was reminded many times of the value and insight my intuition had provided. But, I also relate to skepticism and appreciate her fair deductions. I've practised intuitive readings where I stood in front of a stranger, closed my eyes and told them of a coloured picture I'd seen in my mind's eye. One was a huge sunflower, the centre large and black with a tiny ring of yellow petals around the rim. As I explained my mind's image and my interpretation while "in the zone", tears were rolling down her face. She had been "seen" correctly. I have also bent a spoon with my hands without the use of physical force so I understand this process but, like the author, can't explain it. This book will stay with me and encourage me to use my intuition more than I have before.
