About Us

We designed Recommended Reads to give you back some of your hard-earned time.

Instead of spending hours of your day finding content worth your attention — a remarkably draining activity that often bears little fruit — we figured you had better, more enjoyable things to do.

Subscribers receive a selection of fascinating pieces from reputable publishers every morning. In each edition, you’ll find articles everyone’s talking about — and articles everyone will be talking about. No visiting countless websites. No scrolling through social media feeds. No searching whatsoever. Recommended Reads brings them all to you.

Our curation begins with an ever-growing list of outlets we trust.
We’re committed to keeping Recommended Reads free, which is why you’ll occasionally see a sponsor in one of our emails. These partners help ensure you’ll never have to pay to use Recommended Reads. We encourage you to support them whenever possible, but you’re under no obligation to do so.

Some of these outlets have a version of a paywall, meaning you’ll need to subscribe to their site after reading a set number of pieces if you wish to read more.

We try to limit how many pieces we share from these outlets. However, if you find yourself drawn to their articles, we encourage you to subscribe and support their work.
