Positive psychology (Part 7) - Intuition

The video explores the role of intuition in decision making through various studies. A card game experiment shows how subconscious emotions can guide decisions, even when players are unaware of the rigged nature of the game. Another study highlights how quick visual stimuli can trigger fear responses, emphasizing the importance of intuition in survival.
