A good newsletter reminds me a bit of the internet of old where you had so many specific sites to go to instead of these monolithic social media hubs wherein everything is aggregated.
So far I'm just hip to two.
The first is 3-2-1 from James Clear the author of Atomic Habits, pretty much the book to rule all books in the self-help genre. Read it and you don't really need to read much else.
He does 3 quotes from himself, 2 quotes from others, and then 1 question. Quick and usually insightful it's something I appreciate every Thursday.
The other is from psyche.co every Friday. You can sign up at the top right of their home page. I've only been getting this one for a couple weeks now but it's always got some real good reads in it. In this weeks one I particularly like their stuff on Diogenes as well as the importance of gardens over monasteries in Indian Buddhism.
So, are you signed up for any decent newsletters? Share them here!
Wealthsimple's TLDR weekly newsletter is pretty good to stay on track of important financial news (mostly Canadian Finance)

Subscribed! :)
This is more of a column, but I subscribe via RSS. Lots of science news especially pharma and general chemistry. He writes a lot so there's always something worth reading.
General financial news. Very cynical in seeing things for what they are, but he's also titillated by them. You have to do the condemnation on your own. He just loves scams.
Perspectives: Past, Present, and Future by Patrick Wyman
I almost forgot about this one just because he went on such a long hiatus. Wyman is the host of the Tides of History podcast, he's covered the fall of Rome in depth, he just wrote a book about the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the 40 years war. The guy is a workaholic and extremely personable. The vision he laid out for reviving his newsletter seems interesting, and I have no doubt he'll follow through.
