Just got charged for an annual membership that I don’t use because I did not find the lessons useful. Current best practice is to advise when an annual membership is about to be billed. Or to agree... See more

Appalling

Appalling - their `free` trial is nothing like that - it is $60! Be warned and stay away - I am chasing a refund now.I It is particularly bad as they purport to raise you up and enlighten,while emptying your pocket! Lowbrow would be a better name - disgusting.

We all are busy these days but learning…

We all are busy these days but learning is essential in today's environment and that is where highbrow courses are a savior.

They are short, concise, to the point and highlight key important points.

The daily bits are very engaging and only takes 5 mins to read! I have highly recommended highbrow to my friends as well.

A great source of material for your mind, body and soul!

Great quality courses offered, scientifically and evidence based. The aditional reading suggestions at the end of each episode are an excellent feature that allows you to deepen your knowledge on the subject. All the courses have an important potential application in your everyday life and can contribute to a better living and also physical and mental well-being.
A special note to the very effective, fast and friendly "personal" customer support service! :)

Very informative service

Very informative service. In the 10-day string for each chosen topic, the trainer conveys information that can be helpful for both the apprentice and the medium-experience folk who's looking for confirmation and expansion of his/her basic knowledge.

Excellent way to learn something new every day!

Highbrow is a learning service that provides you with bite size content on a variety of valuable topics every morning to start your day off right with continuing learning and self-improvement. It covers various areas of learning, from literature and art to business and productivity.

Would strongly recommend to anyone with a busy schedule and a desire to still keep improving anyway.

Great way to explore new areas of knowledge!

Each course consists of roughly 10 email lessons, each of which take about 5-10 minutes to read. It is a good way to get introduced to an unfamiliar subject/topic that one may not really like to allot an hour to explore all at one time. The byte size lessons help in understanding the material better as the mind has a day to think about the current lesson before the next one arrives. Each lesson has book recommendations that work great if one wants to explore the topic further. Anytime in the current course, if the subject of the particular course is not interesting, one can just pick a new course. Though I rarely had to switch courses. Recommended for lifelong learners who want to learn something more but they can’t fit in another course in their schedule. This will help in part scratch the "learning itch" without significant investment in time.

Please flag a course I have already taken immediately, rather than in a delayed email. Thank you.

Otherwise, Highbrow is excellent way to learn a lot in no time at all!

Thank you.

Great learning method! Great proffesors!

I am delighted with the Highbrow learning experience. I love the variety of courses. I think they are didactic, entertaining and practical. I am a communications specialist with more than 25 years experience in media and multinational companies and I find this learning method very valuable. It's not time consuming but it still inspires me to do the homework and to put into practice what I have learned. I also love the idea of books recommendations! I found real pearls. Thank you Highbrow, from Argentina!
