Here are 15 Newsletters to subscribe to that will allow your inbox to feed your mind, lift your spirits, explore the city, think for yourself and effectively eradicate the Daily Mail side bar of shame from your life. In an age increasingly painted with the brush of the outrageously offended, and real depth often limited by scarcity of time – sign up to these legitimate gems and don’t look back.
It’s the age old way to start the day, but if there’s anything that’s certain to put you in a bad mood – it’s making a habit of reading the news. If 2020 reconfirmed anything it’s that what really sells is doom, gloom, gossip, and fear. So, as we enter a new year, in less than favourable circumstances, it’s definitely time to empty your inbox of the negative subscriptions, and replace them with some more positive alternatives. Whenever you hear that Gmail ‘ping’ you should feel a genuine ‘ping’ of joy.
