We live in a world of information overload and as a result, everyone will be experiencing one of these four phenomena:
- Content Shock: You are being inundated with more information that you can understand or process.
- Echo Chamber: You are being exposed to the same knowledge, rarely being able to step outside the box and test alternative perspectives.
- FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out: You consume a lot of worthy information and because you lack clarity of thought, every new chunk of information makes you second guess yourself and your choices.
- Distraction: You don’t know know what you are looking for or where to find it. The result: you get lost down the rabbit hole called Google.
Like you, I too got lost amongst these four horsemen until I decided to carve away the noise and allowed a few trusted voices to guide me. I subscribed to over 50 weekly newsletters for a minimum of a month, and then cleaned that list to five. These are the five I follow and love.
- Down The Rabbit Hole by High Existence: This newsletter has become my all time favourite. It is a journey down the rabbit hole of everything from personal growth and altered states of consciousness to rare interviews and deep philosophy. The Enlighting Bolts are little gems.
- Elevator: This is the perfect weekly survival guide for men. Deconstructing everything from sex and new training techniques to sport and socks. The Mixer at the end of each newsletter is like a lucky dip of goodness. You can also subscribe to SHIFT and Wingman, there alternate newsletters focusing on style and sexual health for men.
- Five Bullet Friday by Tim Ferriss: Tim Ferris, author of The Four Hour Work Week, Tribe of Mentors, Tools for Titans and more, is a legend in the world of podcasting. His Five Bullet Friday is a weekly roundup of his podcasts and links to cool technologies he is exploring. Tim is the eternal biohacker who tests out everything he recommends. I personally love that. If you like Tim, check out podcaster like Joe Rogan and Rich Roll.
- 1–2–3 by James Clear: Author of the NYC Bestseller, Atomic Habits, has a weekly newsletter that is crisp, concise and contemplative. Each week, James gives you 3 ideas, 2 quotes and 1 question to ponder. Honestly, on the surface it’s simple, but if do the work, it could change your life.
- Sports Tech World Series: I am a sports fan meets techie. This one is gold if you anything like me. Each week, they will keep you up to date with the world of sports technology, trending sports news, the latest podcasts and industry deep dives. For a sports fan, it’s like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
- BONUS: Perishable Wisdom: This is my personal newsletter. Each week, I narrate a story from sport with a powerful life lesson, a journal prompt I have been reflecting on, a book recommendation and an online toolkit for personal growth. Please subscribe and share the link.
