Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually read TFS, and I would even consider myself a "fan" of psychology, I definitely don't think it's mumbo jumbo. But in my opinion the book was quite shallow, only scratching on the surface of the matter.
Edit: To clarify, shallow is maybe the wrong word. I think the book gets its main point across very well, and it's a good point. But the majority of the book is just further evidence supporting that main point. Which is fine, but I wish it would develop this main point a bit further. The book could be summarized in a short paper and wouldn't lose too much of its value, in my opinion.
Note that there is quite a bit of shaky evidence used to further that point.

The more you do something, or think about something - the more it becomes a "System 1" operation(fast, intuitive). Like typing on a keyboard for example, when you first started using a keyboard you had to think about every letter you want to hit, but now you probably don't even think about it for a millisecond. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Intuitive understanding = Action * Repetition.
Read the book if you haven't, it might be the kind of material you're looking for. I'm not a big fan of psychology and I think it's 90% mumbo jumbo, but this book hit a few nails for me.
