The run-up to December is always my favorite time of year at Pocket<\/a>. It\u2019s when we sift through our data (always anonymous and aggregated\u2014we\u2019re part of Mozilla, after all \ud83d\ude09), to see which must-read profiles, thought-provoking essays, and illuminating explainers Pocket readers loved best over the past 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re delighted to bring you Pocket\u2019s Best of 2022<\/strong><\/a>. This year\u2019s honor roll is our biggest ever:<\/strong> a whopping 20 lists celebrating the year\u2019s top articles<\/a> across culture<\/a>, technology<\/a>, science<\/a>, business<\/a>, and more. All are informed by the saving and reading habits of Pocket\u2019s millions of curious, discerning users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stories people save to Pocket<\/a> reveal something unique\u2014not only about what\u2019s occupying our collective attention, but about what we aspire to be<\/em>. And what we see again and again from 40 million saves to Pocket every month is the gravitational pull of stories that help us better understand the world around us\u2014and ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past few years, our most-saved articles have reflected our challenging, unsettling times: how to manage burnout<\/a> (2019), Covid uncertainty<\/a> (2020), and the chronic sense of \u2018blah\u2019<\/a> so many of us felt as the pandemic wore on (2021). This year, we see something different: seeds of renewal.<\/strong> Our data shows people looking to reinvent themselves and redefine what happiness looks like to them<\/a>. We see readers eager to reset their relationships: with their stuff, with technology, and especially with other people. Articles about how to build deeper connections<\/a> were some of the most popular stories saved to Pocket this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are, in many ways, age-old challenges. But what you\u2019ll find in our Best of 2022 collections<\/a> are all the ways Pocket readers are discovering and embracing new solutions after two long, hard years. To borrow a phrase from a story that resonated deeply with the Pocket community this year, it feels like something of a vibe shift<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowhere was this more evident than in the author who earned more saves to Pocket than any other this year: Arthur C. Brooks<\/strong>, whose \u201cHow to Build a Life\u201d series for The Atlantic<\/em> was a Pocket favorite month in and month out. Whether it\u2019s shortcuts to contentment or tips for how to want less, you can seek your own vibe shift (and bliss) in a special year-end collection of Arthur\u2019s most popular pieces<\/a>, with an introduction by the #1 most-saved author himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many more gems to enjoy in the Best of 2022 collections<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
