I love reading books. But sometimes, I’m not in the mood for a book; I’m in the mood to read something that finishes quickly and yet leaves me inspired, educated, entertained, or hopeful. At those times, I turn to blogs.
Besides that, being a writer, by compulsion, I have to read a lot of different blogs so that I can find ideas for my own articles. After all, artists are supposed to steal like artists.
Hence, in the eight months that I’ve been a writer, I’ve encountered some truly binge-worthy blogs. Whenever I feel uninspired, I turn to one of the following to get my juices flowing.
If you’re looking for the good stuff to read on the internet, rest assured, these blogs won’t disappoint you.

The School of Life
This is, by far, my favourite website to read on.
The School of Life is an educational company founded by writers and thinkers, including authors like Alain de Botton. It is an organisation built to help people find calm, resilience, self-awareness and connection.
It’s a large company that has schools and programmes all over the world. It’s also its own publishing house, having published 50+ books to date. And The School of Life blog is definitely a paradise for readers. They have thousands of articles for you to binge on divided into six categories
1)Self-Knowledge
2)Relationships
3)Work
4)Calm
5)Sociability
6)Leisure & Culture
All the articles are written in a soothing voice that will make you fall in love with them. If you’re looking to learn some profound truths about life, then your search is over. The School of Life is the place to go.
Zen Pencils
Zen Pencils was founded by Galvin Aun Than. When Galvin struggled in his career as a cartoonist, he used to motivate himself using many inspirational quotes and stories. And then he had a wonderful idea which led to the birth of Zen pencils.
Galvin took the very quotes that inspired him to change his life and combined those with his love for drawing, giving birth to Zen Pencils. In his blog, through the medium of eye-delicious comics, Galvin shares many important life lessons.
These comics are also accumulated to form a 2-part series of books. However, the books don’t have all the comics, especially the latest ones. But Galvin shares all of the comics on his website. I promise — the comics are so fun to read, and you learn so much at the same time — you won’t be disappointed.
