He is currently the director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, and lectures around the world on the importance of proper risk education for everyone from school-age children to prominent doctors, bankers, and politicians.
? Before his research, this was a topic dismissed as crazed

work and how ordinary people successfully use it in modern
life.?

intuition.?

convincing argument for going with your gut."
"MEN'S HEALTH"
"Gladwell drew heavily on Gigerenzer's research. But Gigerenzer
goes a step further by explaining just why our gut instincts are so
often right. Intuition, it seems, is not some sort of mystical
chemical reaction but a neurologically based behavior that evolved
to ensure that we humans respond quickly when faced with a
dilemma."
"BUSINESS WEEK"
"Memorable. Clever. Gerd Gigerenzer, director of the Max Planck
Institute for Human Development in Berlin, locates specific
strategies that the unconscious mind uses to solve problems. These
are not impulsive or capricious responses, but evolved methods that
lead to superior choices. In short chapters, using vivid examples
and ordinary language, Gigerenzer explains how an outfielder
catches a fly ball not by complex calculations but by unconsciously
adjusting his running speed so that the angle of his gaze at the
ball remains constant. In problem-solving, having too much
information is often as harmful as having too little; having just
enough information works best."
"THE BOSTON GLOBE"
"There are lots of good, solid reasons to trust your instincts,
says Gerd Gigerenzer, who was among the researchers behind BLINK.
The decisions they give rise to are usually sound. Without
intuition, he says, we would drown in a sea of data points."
