Lately one of my favorite questions to ask people is where they get their news. Or - more specifically - what they subscribe to. If it's in my inbox I will read it so I subscribe to a collection of newsletters and roundups from an intentionally broad range of writers, collators, thinkers and editors. In this instance, I don't mind a little inbox clutter.
I thought I would share my favorites, some of which I have been reading for years. See what resonates and maybe try something new. Brain expansion is a wonderful thing.
Brain Pickings by Maria Popova: philosophy meets poetry in a creativity mash up of life changing proportion. If you read anything, please read this.
FS: I discovered Farnham Street listening to a podcast about mental models. I instantly connected to this newsletter which describes itself aptly as "wisdom you can use."
James Clear's 3, 2, 1: I love James Clear and this weekly email is one of the fastest and most inspiring reads I get each week.
Morning Brew: easy bite sized news. The fastest way to keep up with the big happenings.
Stratechery: deeply thoughtful assessment of key shifts in the tech industry. Not a casual read by any stretch but well worth your attention.
Benedict Evans: a great roundup of the key tech news each week.
FutureCrunch: their words say it best "We help organizations understand what’s coming next. We seek out and tell stories of progress. We give people hope for the future.”
Rowan Simpson’s Top Three: startup analysis and brilliance with just enough sports sprinkled in.
No Mercy No Malice: prof Scott Galloway’s weekly rant on all that’s wrong with the world.
Stocked: because stocking your pantry well can both satisfy your hunger and your financial wellbeing.
Unsnackable: Including this just for fun because it is fun. "A small tantrum about obscure and limited edition snacks, beverages and fast food from around the world that I want but cannot have."
And then, the more familiar, just for completeness:
TechCrunch
The Economist
Wall St Journal
New York Times
