Farnam Street, run by Shane Parrish, is one of the most widely respected newsletters on thinking clearly and making better decisions. Shane spent years at a Canadian intelligence agency before building FS into a destination for people who take learning seriously. The newsletter, called Brain Food, distills the ideas from the broader blog and book club.
What to Expect
A Sunday newsletter that brings together original essays, curated quotes, and reading recommendations — all centred on mental models, cognitive biases, decision-making, and the wisdom found in great books. The writing is calm and considered, focused on timeless ideas rather than trends.
Who It’s For
Anyone who wants to think more clearly and make fewer avoidable mistakes — executives, investors, and lifelong learners who want to build better mental frameworks. If you liked James Clear’s 3-2-1, this goes deeper and broader on the same themes.
Frequency: Weekly (Sunday)
