This email spotlights the underappreciated and fascinating stories every week that you might have missed, along with a thoughtful (and short!) point of view on why they matter. Every Thursday, you'll get a curated email featuring 5-6 new stories selected from hundreds of sources that make you think, and encourage you to be more open minded.

A little bit about me ...

Hi, I'm Rohit Bhargava and I believe the world needs more non-obvious thinkers. I am on a mission to help smart people like you to be more interesting and open minded. I am a current entrepreneur, former advertising agency executive, multiple-time bestselling author and occasional professor at Georgetown University.

The stories that I feature every week in the Non-Obvious Insights Newsletter are curated using my "Haystack Method" (see video below). I use this method to constantly go through hundreds of media sources to select only the most interesting and underappreciated stories. I have been writing the Non-Obvious Insights Newsletter every week since February 2016 (more than five years!).

I am grateful for the time each of my readers spend with me every week and promise to always put in the work to share non-obvious ideas that you haven't heard before. I care deeply about adding value to your inbox every week and will never share your email.
