The 3-2-1 Newsletter from James Clear
We read a lot of newsletters, a lot!
Partly because we write this weekly newsletter, so we need inspiration, but partly also because it is an excellent format to directly connect with the voices that we deeply care about.
Newsletters help our favorite creators connect to us directly in our inbox without depending on any walled gardens created by internet giants like Facebook or Twitter or Google.
James Clear is the best selling author of “Atomic Habits”, he writes a weekly newsletter called The 3-2-1.
Its tagline is - “The most wisdom per word of any newsletter on the web.”
Yup!
Pretty tall claim, but he delivers on the claim handsomely.
If there’s just one newsletter you subscribe to, subscribe to ours :P
But if if there are just two newsletters you subscribe to, then let this be the second one —
