Page turner … This book offers a practical model for becoming better at recognising, understanding and enhancing your intuition to accomplish your most ambitious goals

Best Business Books of August 2025: Core to Huang’s approach is the idea of intentional intuition: not just acting on instinct, but interrogating uneasy feelings when they arise and drawing on past experiences to challenge why you feel that way.

The Science of Mastering Your Intuition

What sets the most successful people apart? While hard work is certainly a factor, Professor Laura Huang's extensive research – spanning entrepreneurs, investors, Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners – reveals that their greatest asset is something less tangible: intuition. That instinctive ‘gut feeling’ often determines who seizes opportunities and who misses them. 
 
In You Already Know, Laura breaks down the science behind intuition, explaining how it is formed from external data, accumulated wisdom and the subconscious insights we don’t even realise we have. What follows is a gut feeling, which shifts our perspective and drives us to act. 
 
Grounded in Huang’s pioneering research and enriched with insights from hundreds of illuminating interviews, this book offers a practical model for becoming better at recognising, understanding and enhancing your intuition to accomplish your most ambitious goals. What’s stopping you from unlocking your full potential? You already know.
