"BLINK" - Malcolm Gladwell

Highly recommended. If you ever wondered why you got something right, but didn't know why, this book does a great job of explaining it.
However the book is restricted to the explanation of sense-driven intuition. Intuition that is bootstrapped or fires when you see or hear things.
As expected, the book is silent on intuition that is, for want of a better word, 'past' or 'experience' neutral. I guess Indian mysticism answers that question - should you ascribe, of course.
