Friday Finds by David Perell

I share the top-five links I discover in a weekly newsletter called “Friday Finds.”

Friday Finds is not like other links-only newsletters, which are focused on the news and the drama of the day. Instead, I aim to only share links that you won’t find elsewhere. Friday Finds is a break from the rest of the news-obsessed Internet, where curators focus on utility over interestingness and urgency over importance, and the timely over the timeless.

The articles are as diverse as my interests. On any given week, you might learn about the philosophy of Aristotle, the state of universities, or how technology shapes Western culture. No matter what, I promise that each edition will be fresh and worthy of your attention.

Readers say:

  • What sets Friday Finds apart from other curation newsletters is that David finds links that 1) I haven’t seen before and 2) that are interesting. His depth of questioning and breadth of reading make him the rare curator that other curators curate. — Luke
