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

Love This Subscription
Love this subscription! Easy and interesting way to learn about things you're interested in. Wide variety of topics. Everything from business to raising kids, self-enrichment and organization. Lessons are broken into 10 days of 5 minute reading.
Continue the good work
Thanks Highbrow for providing systematic learning.
some courses / lessons are really wonderful while a few are not up to the expectations, overall a great experience, please continue the good work.
Proof of pudding is in eating, the fact that I will renew my subscription when it falls due is enough evidence that my praise for Highbrow are sincere and genuine and I love Highbrow.
It's great!
I found the website to be deeply helpful & entertaining. Latin utile dulci suits this site perfectly. I highly recommend trying it out to people interested in self-growth, or those who seek to widen their perspective.

I love taking your courses with such a diverse offering of topics! And the best part is, it takes less than 5 minutes to learn something new each day! Kudos to the team at Highbrow for coming up with this idea and executing it so well!

Highbrow - plenty of knowledge
Highbrow proposes various interesting courses about plenty of subjects, to increase our general knowledge and interest in a few minutes a day.
Tiny bubble of knowledge everyday
I just love this service. I find it very clever. The emails are short and easy to read, you can feel it's structured and going somewhere. I subscribe essentially to personal growth and business Highbrow lessons and they've helped me having those "aha moments". Very practical advices too. I love the service so much i might start redaction a class myself. I've been really enjoying those tiny bubbles of knowledge throughout the week.
Highbrow is a powerful tool for self-improvment
Highbrow is a powerful tool for self-improvment: it's very simple to get the courses finished (one lesson by email everyday for ten days).
The choice of courses is very huge, and Highbrow will guide you through what courses are best for you, so you will learn new things continuosly.
Highbrow is awesome!
I found Highbrow after I saw how much time I wasted on my phone, especially when sitting on the toilet. So I thought that there should be an app or something online that would help me use my time wisely, not waste it.
That's where Highbrow come in. Instead of wasting my time scrolling down some mindless app, instead I can learn interesting new things everyday! And a little portion a day, I get new insights, knowledge and expand my horizons. Perfect!
It almost sounds like I'm working for Highbrow or something, but I don't and this is my honest opinion. Definitely worth my money.
Love the experience so far…
Love the experience so far with Highbrow. I've been using it since 2016 since it had a free and premium option and decided to go Premium around 2 years ago (I have 847 mails so far). Courses are of quality content, exactly what's needed (short and precise with the option to dig deeper into the subject with references and such) and the process to register for a course is pretty much foolproof.
My only issue is that the time at which you receive your email isn't definable (and I'm talking about the timezone, mostly, here). I'm receiving it at around 5:04 PM right now, which is 7 AM somewhere in the world and I would love to be able to set that from my account. Tried talking to support, but from my understanding they don't have access to the database to modify the timezone.
All the best,
Marius
A Great Way To Start Your Day
This is a great way to start your morning! Averaging about 5 minutes a day on average, these courses cover over 300 topics and provide over 3000 lessons. Something for everyone! My only regret is that at this point in time, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to keep track of the courses you have covered, although you will be notified if you accidentally repeat a course. Most lessons are covered in an upbeat & positive manner, making Highbrow a great way to discover or review details on a wide variety of topics.

courses can be longer and more indepth.
sending a daily email is not same as being part of a course. I am not too crazy about this model of learning. I rather take a course on udemy or edx or coursera.
I love learning!

Short lessons for people with little time available. The lessons are sent to my e-mail and I usually read them in the subway.
Even though it does not go deep in the subject, most lessons give recommendations of further reading.

It's an effective way to learn something new, doing in short times for 10 days. I would like to have more courses every week and with different topics.

I have mainly registred to "personal growth" courses, and I am very happy and inspired by the courses. It was the best coaching I ever had, and it taught me a lot on how to handle anxiety, or deal with difficult people. I have applied the teaching in real life and it was life-saving. I like also the structure of the courses, and how they broke down the steps to read by sending a course a day. It became my morning readings on my way to work in the metro :) Thanks so much for having such a great idea Highbrow team!
