Intuition guru Robinson (Trust Your Gut) offers a healing guide for those going through trouble or transition, utilizing their "inner voice" to find power, knowledge, and transformation. Taking another look at the oft-discounted notion of "women's intuition," Robinson makes a convincing case for navigating life using one's natural wisdom-"an invisible intelligence that animates our world and provides insight and direction"-rather than looking outward for solutions. In 27 chapters, Robinson uses thought-provoking anecdotes, quotes, tips, and quizzes, alongside years of research and experience, to explain how to hear and understand our inner voice by clearing away the clutter of fear, negativity, stress, and distractions. While there's definitely a spiritual context to Robinson's advice (she refers to God, prayer and "divine intuition"), she encourages anyone who finds "God" problematic to substitute Universe, Higher Power, or whatever works; confirmed atheists and agnostics, however, may be turned off. Each chapter includes a prompt for an Intuition Journal, bound to help readers improve their self-knowledge, and perhaps find their "still, quiet inner voice."
