Max Tile Mailing List

Max Tiling is the chief editor of the Brainhack blog, where you can find information about psychology, thinking, self-management, awareness and much more. In his free time, he does a weekly newsletter, which usually includes brief retellings of interesting articles, books for self-development, and an indispensable motivating quote in the final letter. Every week, Tile neatly picks up everything that helps to improve the quality of life: a fascinating reading about the benefits of walking, a list of ten applications that will help get rid of stress, or, say, a useful plugin that cleans comments from wherever it can.

theSkimm

TheSkimm's most expensive and readable mailing list is the work of Daniela Weisberg and Karly Zakin, who invented it in 2012, being employees of the news channel. Meeting interested views on stories about work stories, the friends realized that people really want to know more about the same policy - they just have to speak in human language. So they began to send letters with ironically written extract of the most interesting things that happened in the world in a day. Now theSkimm has more than four million subscribers worldwide (including Lena Dunham, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Jessica Parker and others) and under ten million dollars of investment.

The bell

Inspired by the aforementioned theSkimm project of a journalist Elizaveta Ossetinskaya, whose task is to "be useful to business people, saving them time." Beginning, born during an internship at Stanford, has grown into a full-fledged newsletter in which professional journalists talk about major events from the world of politics, business, real estate and technology. On the site, you can choose any of the four ways to receive mailings: daily on weekdays at ten in the morning, on weekdays, except Fridays, at eight in the evening, or weekly - or you can subscribe to all three types at once.

Evening Medusa

The daily distribution of the Medusa edition, which comes to subscribers on the mail on weekdays and is called "the smallest newspaper in the world." At 20:00 Moscow time, readers receive a letter that contains brief information about what happened during the day, as well as the most interesting materials of the site according to the editorial staff. Bonus for those who are tired of Facebook: by subscribing to the "Evening Medusa", you can significantly reduce the stay in social networks, if you get the latest news from them.

Puzzle English

On the Puzzle English website, you can find a huge collection of interesting tasks aimed at learning English on all fronts: leveling up grammar skills, memorizing words, listening comprehension and much more. To make the process systematic, you can subscribe to three mailings under the cute names Vitamins, Buns, and Levi. The psycholinguist Yury Zhdanov is responsible for the first one - you can find brief advices in it, such as saying goodbye to a person in a dozen ways or how different names are translated into different languages. "Buns" are a mixture of interesting information from the world of grammar, vocabulary and etymology, and "Lyoviki" help to take a fresh look at already known facts.

Kleroteria

The ideological successor of The Listserve - a project of five students at New York University, in which each of the subscribers could have a chance to write a letter to the others (the database contained more than twenty-five thousand people). Someone told personal stories, someone published poems, and one participant even organized a picnic in this way. A post can consist only of text (maximum three thousand characters) and should not contain illegal or hateful information. Kleroteria does not give details about the author’s identity, unless he or she decides to reveal himself.

The Ryan Holiday Reading Recommendation Email

His creative agency Brass Check has consulted Google, as well as many best-selling authors, including Tony Robbins. Holiday himself has written six books and for the last nine years has been engaged in recommending good publications to others. Every month he sends a letter to the base of subscribers, in which he talks about five to ten read papers. The main purpose of the mailing list is to advise books that will not go out of their heads for a long time, and as a maximum they will change their outlook on life.
