‘Daily wisdom’ is part of my morning routine, where read a few hand-picked newsletters for around 10 to 15 minutes.

I recommend creating a separate email account exclusively for newsletters like yourname.newsletters@gmail.com. It’s okay to have a backlog of newsletters because the heuristic is to prioritize the quality of engagement (and fun!) over quantity. Remember: most wisdom is timeless.

While I like the daily stoic book version, I enjoy the daily mails even more. They feel sharper and more practical. Out of all the emails, I’m most looking forward to these.

Wisdom Well

Daily

Wisdom Well is targeted at the +40 audience but that’s why I like it. The stories and reflections provide great reminders for a more spacious perspective on life.

Wisdom from many great books is distilled into inspiring, impactful and practical micro-lessons you can apply to your life daily.
