My Favorite Newsletters

I love reading newsletters! I probably go through 60-70+ each week now. Here are some of my absolute favorites.

It's no secret that I love to read. Between my personal email & my secondary Mailbrew inbox, I subscribe to over 70+ newsletters.

One of my tweets about my favorite newsletters once went viral, garnering almost 100k impressions. I often get questions from friends asking me for newsletter recommendations, so I thought I'd put together a list of my favorites.

In this post, I'll share the newsletters I look forward to receiving each week, by category. This comes after a serious purge.

The criteria I used to determine whether to keep newsletters or not:

  • Have I read the last 3 issues?
  • Do I learn something each issue?

I only recommend A-grade newsletters in my collection. Welcome to my gold mine:

  • Maker Mind by Anne-Laure Le Cunff -  A weekly dose of mindful productivity that's backed with neuroscience.
  • The Jungle Gym by Nick deWilde - Thoughtful writing about careers, personal growth and trends.

  • Farnam Street by Shane Parrish - Brain food for the curious with plenty of actionable advice and deep dives into mental models.
  • The Curiosity Chronicle by Sahil Bloom - Mental models and high-signal content that helps make you a better person and enables you to understand the world better.
