It seemed a rather long and boring method to say what moms teach us: Look before you leap, but trust your intuition. We need to make sure we have control of our own bigotry so that intuition can play cleaner, clearer.

Too famous not to try.

Frustrating. Lots of interesting anecdotes, with analysis of each one. But no guidance on how to use what those people learned in our own lives. If we're not marriage counselors, or firefighters, or subjects of a psychology experiment, we have to go back to what we already know. Which is basically: pay attention to your hunches, but be aware of prejudices, blind spots, and other pitfalls so know when to work hard to get a more thorough understanding of the subject before jumping to conclusions.
