I used to hate my e-mail. Today, I look forward to opening it whenever I have a spare moment.
Below, I will show you how to make e-mail the most delightful, inspiring, educational, and thought-provoking experience.
The habit. It became my habit to Google every author or speaker I was impressed with with the following query:
“Chris Williamson newsletter”
It changed my life!
I found out that:
“Anybody that matters has a newsletter.”
These days, I receive the carefully curated thoughts of the best minds of our time in my inbox. They are not the attention-grabbing, knee-jerk reactions of social media trolls. They are artfully crafted, beautiful thoughts that inspire, motivate, and expand your mind.
Uki D. Lucas I was considering whether I should provide my list of favorite newsletter writers. The downside is that they are so much better than I am, and it will drop my readership. On the other hand, I am writing to provide real value for you, my friend.
Here is my list.
