1/11 Today we’re introducing nine new newsletters from The Atlantic, from exciting voices you may already know and love. These newsletters are a benefit of subscription, but anyone can sign up for free during a trial period, which runs until November 30: on.theatln.tc/zGrdqPv
2/11 .@JordanMCalhoun’s newsletter, Humans Being, searches for lessons in popular movies, books, TV shows, and more. Whatever you’re streaming, this newsletter will be your companion to help understand the story and decide what to play next: on.theatln.tc/wO9pZ18
3/11 In her newsletter, I Have Notes, @nicolesjchung will share conversations and essays, explore the craft of writing, discuss the books she’s reading, and give a little bit of advice—with room for your questions, quirks, and obsessions too. on.theatln.tc/nwnwFLA
4/11 .@DavidAFrench’s The Third Rail will examine the disputes that divide America. French will explore not just the ends but also the means of American debate; his goal is “to speak with you and not at you, to explain what I know and to learn what I can”: on.theatln.tc/khyaFhd
5/11 In Brooklyn, Everywhere, @XochitltheG will ponder the many meanings of gentrification and what we lose in our relentless pursuit of the American dream. on.theatln.tc/rVjzHrG
6/11 .@MollyJongFast is not going to both-sides things in her Wait, What? newsletter. The left-leaning opinion columnist writes that the newsletter won’t try to appear balanced or nonpartisan: It’s “just me, no filter or fealty.” on.theatln.tc/JJCjnjP
7/11 In Peacefield, @RadioFreeTom will think about the challenges facing America: “I can’t shake the feeling that the United States is no longer a serious country.” on.theatln.tc/A7H4LNe
8/11 .@imaniperry’s newsletter, Uncharted Territory, hopes to challenge readers’ values and ignite conversations. Each entry will provide a disruption of conventional takes on American history, culture, law, politics, literature, and more: on.theatln.tc/6zMR6pZ
9/11 .@Yair_Rosenberg’s Deep Shtetl is “a curious person’s guide to the stories behind the stories,” focusing on “the people off the beaten track who don’t appear on all your podcasts; the things and communities we think we understand but don’t.” on.theatln.tc/qmJAYNA
10/11 .@cwarzel’s Galaxy Brain has found a new home at @TheAtlantic. “Very little is going to change,” Warzel writes. The newsletter will help you navigate the interesting times we live in, chronicling the internet-tethered, fiercely divided world: on.theatln.tc/eBejhH7
11/11 “The Atlantic has been, since 1857, the home to much of the country’s best writing talent,” our editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg, writes. This new suite of newsletters continues that tradition: on.theatln.tc/bFZctVg

1/5 The Atlantic is Adweek’s 2021 Hottest Magazine of the Year. Here are some highlights from our reporting:
2/5 Explore “Inheritance,” a multi-chapter project about American history, Black life, and the resilience of memory, including stories from Vann R. Newkirk II, @hannahgiorgis, @AnnaDeavereS, and more: theatlantic.com/inheritance/
3/5 Read our July/August 2021 cover story, “The Minister of Chaos,” by @TomMcTague. The British prime minister knows exactly what he’s doing, Tom argued after spending months with him: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2/4 “‘Ted Lasso’ came out of nowhere, almost,” @sophieGG says. The show was adapted from an NBC Sports ad in which an American coach who knows nothing about soccer moves to England to coach a Premier League team. The result, our critics agree, is a heartwarming, feel-good show.
3/4 #TedLasso “took off because people really loved its ethos, its optimistic sports narrative in Season 1,” @sophieGG says. @megangarber adds: “I think there’s something quietly genius about making this show that is about team sports not about the sport at all.”

1/ Our journey to happier living starts with the question “How do I feel right now?” In the first episode of "How To Build a Happy Life," @arthurbrooks and @danbharris explore the neuroscience of emotional management—and the first small step you can take. cms.megaphone.fm/channel/howto?…
2/ Pop culture tells us that we should get in touch with our feelings, Arthur says, but there's a danger in being too reactive to them. Our feelings are often out of balance. Meditation is one way to manage them—not eradicate them completely.
3/ @danharris, a former broadcast journalist who now hosts @10percent, was once skeptical of the value of meditation. "But then I saw the science that really strongly suggests that it can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, rewire key parts of your brain."
1/7 The current pandemic is far from over, but the window to prepare for future threats is closing fast, @edyong209 reports. How can the U.S. stay 10 steps ahead of tomorrow’s viruses when it can’t stay one step ahead of today’s? on.theatln.tc/ZCGlqpn
2/7 America’s frustrating inability to learn from the recent past shouldn’t be surprising to anyone familiar with the history of public health, Yong writes. The U.S. has been stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of panic and neglect:
3/7 “It might seem ridiculous to think about future pandemics now,” Yong writes. But we'll be doomed to repeat the panic-neglect cycle if we don’t act.
1/9 Today in The Atlantic, we’re thinking about offices: What are they good for, really? And why have some started to look like your living room?
2/9 Offices are “filling up with furnishings and flourishes such as comfy sofas, open shelving, framed artwork, mirrors, curtains, rugs, floor lamps, coffee tables, and materials such as wood and linen,” @jpinsk reports: on.theatln.tc/m54t8GG
3/9 Employers who use this aesthetic—known, regrettably, as resimercial—“hope that a more charming and comfortable physical space might help attract talented workers and help their employees do better work,” Joe Pinsker writes.
