Penney Peirce—bestselling author and renowned intuitive and visionary—shows you how to trust and develop your intuition to an advanced degree. Intuition is the skill of the future, and it will absolutely give you an advantage in whatever you do. As the first book in Peirce’s groundbreaking Transformation series, The Intuitive Way shows how intuition is an innate human capacity that can easily be enhanced and developed. Synthesizing insights from psychology, East-West philosophy, religion, metaphysics, and business, this hands-on workbook in the tradition of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way can teach anyone to achieve a heightened state of perceptual accuracy and apply it to daily life. Intuition, writes Penney Peirce, is “not the opposite of logic,” but rather “a comprehensive way of knowing life that includes both left-brain analytical thinking and right-brain direct-knowing states.” On a practical level, intuition helps you learn faster and make more inspired decisions. On a deeper level, it “is a powerful tool that can heal the painful split we all feel between our earthly, mundane selves and our divine, eternal selves.” Widely praised and highly popular, The Intuitive Way, with a foreword by Carol Adrienne, continues to bring Penney Peirce’s pioneering work to new generations of people who want a comprehensive course on this most valuable skill.

The leading traits of executives often include creativity and innovation. Research shows that intuition can significantly enhance to these traits. Developing intuitive executives and honing intuition, coupled with the ability to apply data and evidence to inform decision making, is the focus of Developing the Intuitive Executive: Using Analytics and Intuition for Success. Some researchers call the complement of applying data analytics to intuition as quantitative intuition, rational intuition, or informed intuition. Certainly, in today's data-driven environment, analytics plays a key role in executive decision-making. However, an executive’s many years of experiential learning are not formally considered as part of the decision-making process. Learning from both failures and successes can help fine-tune intuitive awareness—what this book calls intuition-based decision-making. Research also shows that many executives do not trust the internal data quality in their organizations, and so they rely on their intuition rather than strictly on data. This book presents the work of leading researchers worldwide on intuition in the management and executive domain. Their chapters cover key issues, trends, concepts, techniques, and opportunities for applying intuition as part of the executive decision-making process. Highlights include: Using intuition to manage new opportunities Intuition in medicine Rules based on intuition Balancing logic and intuition in decision-making Smart heuristics to manage complexity Intuition and competitiveness Intuitive investment decision-making across cultures Showing how intuition in executive decision making should play an important role, this book enables managers to complement their knowledge gained from experience with analytics to improve decision-making and business success.

How can I help my children to thrive and prosper? How can I ensure that they won’t become unhappy and frustrated, as I’ve been? These are the questions that inspired Sonia Choquette to write this profound and accessible book explaining—through spiritual principles, modern-day parables, and practical exercises—how even busy parents can help children connect to their own source of Divine guidance. As Sonia says, "Connecting to our intuition unites us with both our soul and the soul of the Universe, Divine Spirit. It takes away our fearful sense of isolation and inadequacy. It replaces fear with a sense of spiritual direction and safety. The world becomes friendly, nonadversarial, and welcoming. Life becomes joyful, amusing, generous, and abundant. This is the Divine plan. The intuitive life is one of confidence, inner peace, and creative expression. What better gift to give ourselves and our children?"
