ABOUT THE NON-OBVIOUS INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER
Are you tired of reading the same predictable stories every week?
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.
