Highbrow International is what I think… Highbrow International is what I think of as this year's best internet discovery. Excellent learning tool with a wide variety of subjects available for those who are extremely busy. Daily, easy-to-digest lessons are a dream come true for those who are committed to lifelong learning. I find it most helpful as an introduction to topics that I find interesting but am still unsure of whether I want to invest a lot of time in learning.

Garbage Garbage. These “classes” are basically just curated newspaper clippings. To add insult to injury, the unsubscribe button apparently doesn’t work. I unsubscribed before my trial was over, but they’re telling me they didn’t see it. To make it even worse, they charged me before my trial was even over and now they won’t refund the money. It’s a crappy product and the people are unethical.

Aside from a poor product this company… Aside from a poor product this company has poor ethics. You will get Glorified emails about a topic from an “expert.” Which google searches will yield you better info. Aside reform that even if you cancel prior to the 30 days and have screenshot proof of your cancellation they will STILL bill you. Stay away keep your money and try coursea which has tío professors from leading universities giving FREE classes. There are paid ones too and you can get college credit. This company is nothing more than gloried emails and dull dull content

No notice of impending subscription expiration; No refunds Stay away; it's a LOWBROW business model. I had a trial subscription at a reduced rate. On the evening of the trial expiration date I received a receipt for a year's subscription ($60+) that included a statement that if I canceled the subscription by that date, I wouldn't be charged, even though they had already charged me. I promptly canceled (on said date), but Highbrow denied my request for a refund. The predatory practices of such subscription-based services are disgusting.

Real learning in bite-sized pieces I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I've learned from some of the Highbrow courses. As a busy professional, it's hard to find time to study long texts about subjects I'm curious about. Too often, I abandon articles or books before finishing them, simply because of the pace of work. Highbrow sends bite-sized pieces of learning each morning, something I can always manage. It is amazing how much information can be packed into those pieces. If I want to explore something further, each day's lesson includes links to other resources, which is invaluable. I'm no expert at the end of ten days, but I've been exposed to the basics and usually some actionable advice I put into practice. Highly recommended.
