Some self-promo: I run a weekly newsletter with lessons gathered from HN https://lessonsofhn.com

Here are some things I learned in the past 12 months:

* economics are more useful to me than politics. Stop reading news on politics, but rather financial news

* my biggest flaws are lack of patience and a big ego. Was hard to see this even though most of my life problems originated from these two

* sleep is damn important

* knowing yourself is an illusion. You can have the feeling that you know yourself, but you'll be amazed how many things you can still learn about yourself.

* is very important to avoid resentment. This means talking or doing uncomfortable things, but is such a relief afterwards

What kind of financial news do you read to inform your judgment on larger issues? I feel I tend to get overwhelmed with short-term and often irrelevant news on finance/global economics/markets with my current curation routine, as I read daily sources that focus on immediate markets news with little in-depth substance (Reuters/WSJ/Bloomberg...)? Do you also read more in-depth analysis, featured in weekly or monthly magazines such as The Econommist or other?

I'm quite ignorant at the topic and just at the beginning.

Right now I started to read The concise guide to economics[1] As the title says it's a really simple and concise book which explain basic terms from economy. I find it quite good for beginners like me.

In the future I plan to add these to my reading list:

Financial Times blog[2]

Paul Krugman's blog[3]

The New York Times

The Economist

I was thinking about doing something similar. There are so many gems to be discovered in HN Comments. Subscribed immediately to your list.

Did you ever do Show HN of this project?

I did, but in an early stage where I had only one lesson in the archive. Didn't really catch up. I'm planning to switch to the new domain hnlessons.com, maybe I'll do then another one
