Email newsletters are my favourite part of the Internet.

They’re a fantastic way to get high quality and diverse content straight into your inbox, curated by smart and curious people, often with insightful analysis and commentary.

Here are just a few examples I love seeing arrive in my inbox:

• 3–2–1 by James Clear, writer of Atomic Habits. 3 short ideas from James, 2 quotes from others and 1 question to ponder.
• Brain Pickings by Maria Popova, a Sunday digest of the week’s most interesting articles on art, science, philosophy, and creativity.
• Sunday Brain Food by Farnam Street, focused on actionable insights and ideas around mental models, decision making, accelerated learning.
• Wonder Tools by Jeremy Caplan, a weekly list of useful sites and tools around a particular theme to improve your workflow.
• Kadlac Design by Nate Kadlac, centred on design and creativity for non-designers.

The variety of newsletters is enormous, and there’s something out there for everyone, no matter what your topic of interest is.
