Our gut has a brain. Or more accurately, it is a brain, even though our gut does not have the verbal sophistication that our head-brain does. Our gut works on hunches—a hypothesis that something is not right or that there is an opportunity ahead. It is up to us to suss out what that knock on the door of our consciousness really means, and what to do about it. We must use our heart- and head-brains to interpret the meaning of the message, then figure out how to take deliberate action.
