Endlessly amused by people's minds.

True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.

When you are under time pressure for a decision, you need to follow intuition.

Divorced women, compared to married women, are less satisfied with their lives, which is not surprising. But they're actually more cheerful, when you look at the average mood they're in in the course of the day.

The premise of this book is that it is easier to recognize other people's mistakes than your own.

Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.
