Try featured notebooks on selected topics in NotebookLM

A digital interface displays “NotebookLM” with a detailed view of a Shakespeare notebook and a “Featured notebooks” section showcasing various topics like earnings reports and complete plays.

One of the secrets to getting the most out of NotebookLM is assembling high-quality sources to help you explore your interests. Today, we’re rolling out a new feature making that easier than ever. We’re working with respected authors, researchers, publications and nonprofits around the world to create featured notebooks.

The notebooks cover everything from in-depth scientific explorations to practical travel guides to advice from experts. Our initial lineup includes:

• Longevity advice from Eric Topol, bestselling author of “Super Agers”
• Expert analysis and predictions for the year 2025 as shared in The World Ahead annual report by The Economist
• An advice notebook based on bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks’ “How to Build A Life” columns in The Atlantic
• A science fan’s guide to visiting Yellowstone National Park, complete with geological explanations and biodiversity insights
• An overview of long-term trends in human wellbeing published by the University of Oxford-affiliated project, Our World In Data
• Science-backed parenting advice based on psychology professor Jacqueline Nesi’s popular Substack newsletter, Techno Sapiens
• The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, for students and scholars to explore
• A notebook tracking the Q1 earnings reports from the top 50 public companies worldwide, for financial analysts and market watchers alike

Each collection lets you explore the content using all of NotebookLM’s signature features. You can read the original source material, but you can also pose questions or explore specific topics in depth, and get answers grounded in the original material, with citations. You can listen to pre-generated Audio Overviews, or explore the main themes using our Mind Maps feature.

A new way to share notebooks — and knowledge

Last month, we introduced the ability to publicly share notebooks. Over the past four weeks, more than 140,000 public notebooks have been created, on a wide range of topics. We’ll continue to introduce new featured notebooks, including additional collections from our partnerships with The Economist and The Atlantic.

With featured notebooks and public sharing, NotebookLM gives you the ability to explore and share expertise, commentary and public domain information. Featured notebooks will start rolling out to users on desktop today, and we look forward to seeing all the public notebooks created by the NotebookLM community.

Here’s what two of our partners had to say:

“This is the first AI-focused partnership The Economist has signed and we are excited for NotebookLM users to explore a selection of articles from The Economist’s annual special issue, The World Ahead 2025. This public notebook will feature our forward-looking journalism, examining what we view to be the most important trends and events shaping this year. This is one of many ways The Economist is experimenting with AI. We look forward to learning from this collaboration.”

“The books of the future won’t just be static: some will talk to you, some will evolve with you, and some will exist in forms we can’t imagine now. We’re delighted to partner with Google in its pioneering work on this front.”
