Welcome to A Mug of Insights! A Newsletter for mastering your reading skills



Who Are You?

My name is Robin Waldun. I’m an Honours graduate in Literature, and now I want to give away my English degree.

I started this newsletter as a side project alongside my YouTube channel. What started as a journal of interesting ideas I collected from my research quickly gathered over 19,000 curious readers.

This is when I realized there is a huge demand for people who want to engage with complex books, but don’t have the tools/mindsets to expand their literacy skills.

This is where A Mug of Insights comes in.

A Mug of Insights has two components.

In weekly columns, I’ll share a life lesson from my self-education journey in a digestible format for you to read over your coffee.

In the [1-2-Read] segments for paid members, I’ll present you with one substantial idea and two journaling prompts that will tangibly improve your reading comprehension.



I want to make reading simple, enjoyable, and inspiring. This paid segment of the newsletter will teach you how to do that.

Every two weeks, I will send you a newsletter to improve your reading skills with the following:

1 BIG IDEA to break you out of your reading slump and shift the way you think about lifelong learning.

2 JOURNALING PROMPTS to put the big idea into immediate action.

Then watch the way you READ transform as you strengthen your literacy skills.

Paid members will also get access to the full archive (posts are automatically archived after 6 months). This will give me more time to produce high-quality posts consistently. Thank you for your contribution!
