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

I have loved and learned a lot by using Highbrow

I have loved and learned a lot from the three classes I have taken. Sometimes the information is very surface level, but that way the content is easily consumed and acted upon if desired. Sometimes I can't wait for the next day so I can get my next lesson! I have enjoyed the program. I hope library of courses will continue to grow.

I enjoy belonging to Highbrow and taking their mini-courses. They have a variety of topics from helpful day to day advice on managing time to getting a better nights sleep. They also have fun courses on music, literature, history and philosophy that expand ones thinking and give a broader view of life. I highly recommend Highbrow courses!

Great way to learn new things

I have really enjoyed the courses I've had so far. All have been very informative and I like the way they come in quick easy bites every day to my mailbox. This is a great way to expand your knowledge on many different topics.

I very much look forward each and every mornings reading of you courses. Information is very much needed in a world of text and non conversation it is as if, the art of conversation has been lost or not.
Due to individual lack of social skills and instant gratification of society with that being said "I cannot put a price on learning something worth reading.

Thank you.

Thank you.
There is no other way to resume what I feel right now about my experiences with Highbrow.
There is too much information out there, but realistic, objective, concise, enlightening contents, all of these, together? Only at Highbrow!

Favorite morning email

I look forward to Highbrow every day. The worst thing about it is trying to choose which lessons to take first or which one next. Excellent content - you wont be disappointed.

Content exceeds expectations.

Content always exceeds expectations and it is a fun way to start the day. I save the emails on a separate folder to come back for future references. Subjects are varied and useful for everyday usage. Mobile interaction with the website when choosing courses needs to be upgraded but is by no means an impediment to book courses through your phone.

Less is so, so much more

In this world of endless choice and a gazillion channels, this simple service is an absolute beauty! Being sent one concise email a day, that in 10 days leads you on a path towards greater understanding in all manner of subjects, is just so powerful ... I can't recommend it enough.

The fact that you can only take one course at a time is also brilliant - it focuses you on the task in hand. I love it - and am pretty sure you will too!

I have been learning a lot with Highbrow.
I now can make good presentations, as well as manage my time efficiently.
Please continue the great work!
Now, as you have short courses, you could create like short certificates for those courses

Best Regards,

Pretty meh content

Pretty meh content. Terrible customer service - this is totally a service / company where they give you the thirty day and then they know most people will forget to cancel. This is obviously something a lot of companies do, however, if you email the day you get the charge saying you actually don't want the service they then cancel it. They believe in the value of their product and don't want to risk alienating people who might actually turn into customers later. Not these guys...clearly their business / service isn't working as if you email them one minute after your card is charged they won't do anything about it and you are charged for the whole year. This company clearly doesn't stand by their product and knows that the only way for them to make money is scam their customers.

I cancelled my subscription before the end of my "30-day trial period" and yet they charged my credit card... I'm trying to get my money back but they keep insisting that I did not cancel my subscription. This company is a fraud. Can anyone help on getting my money back?

Sketchy business model

Sketchy business model

They prey on those who sign up for their 30 day trial period and refuse to offer refunds when they charge you for a year trial after you tell them you accidentally subscribed. Run far away from these guys.

Awesome courses and platform

Awesome courses and platform. I would only like to access my history, add next courses in a row, and maybe setup the best time for incoming e-mail.
