This is not another how-to book; it’s a why-to.
What is Intuition? Resonance, Connection and Trusting Intuition on its own Terms explores why we might feel disconnected from our intuition, and inspires us to renew that connection. Offering vocabulary and a framework for thinking about what intuition is, Dr. Emily Sadowski helps us to normalize all kinds of intuitive experience, from embodied gut feelings to transpersonal, psychic intuition.
Insightful, wise, and thought-provoking, What is Intuition? is a journey into ideas about consciousness, connection, self-awareness, and the nature of truth, and offers up insight into how—and why—it’s possible to develop a trustworthy relationship to your intuition.
A brilliant articulation of the genius of our intuitive knowing! In a world that makes the mistake of shaming our intuition, Emily Sadowski restores it to its rightful place. Our intuition is not some flaky aspect of our consciousness. It is the director of the symphony within us. It is our built-in harbinger of change, the truth-ache that courses through our veins reminding us of who we really are. For anyone who is unable to honor their intuition, this book will invigorate your faith in its wisdom. Highly recommended!
Based on research from Emily’s PhD, What is Intuition? explores cultural reasons we might feel disconnected from our intuition, and inspires us to renew that connection. By offering vocabulary and a framework for thinking about what intuition is, it aims to normalize all kinds of intuitive experience, from embodied gut feelings to transpersonal, psychic intuition.
Like a lot of authors, Dr. Sadowski wrote the book she wished already existed when she was a student of leadership and philosophy of education. Something that was rigorous and with depth, that didn’t ignore or deny the spiritual, woo aspects of consciousness and intuition. After developing and testing these ideas with clients and students for over 13 years, here it is.
The book explores consciousness, self-awareness, knowledge, and connection, and offers up insight into how -and why- to develop a trustworthy relationship to intuitive experience.

This book is a trusted source for reframing intuition as accessible, valid, and to be trusted. It sets the foundation to “replace skepticism with experiential belief” that intuition is a mode of knowing, or rather, of experiencing, which is practically really hard to put into words but exists nonetheless. Emily sets this foundation with beautifully descriptive and relatable examples of how intuition has been experienced by many of us and also how it has been perceived by many disciplines and philosophies over time, including the many misconceptions about it and the ways in which systems have worked against our intuition. You’ll walk away with a clearer and less biased understanding, trust, and belief in intuition.
