GBHere's the deal Pros: sleek design, interesting content Cons: content lacks depth and skews toward generic truisms; they don't honor customer satisfaction - if you don't like their product, then you're stuck with it for a year and the $48 USD price Observations: they send the course(s) you choose, otherwise you don't hear from them

GBReal 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.

RSHighbrow....I am so happy to find it ! I consider Highbrow as my greatest finding on internet this year. Phenomenal learning tool for very busy people with wide range of subjects available for learning. Easy-bite lessons delivered daily are dream come true for people devoted to life long learning. I find it most useful for introduction into subjects that I found interesting, but I am still not sure do I want do dedicate much time into learning them. Aleksandar from Serbia

GBI signed up to a 30 day free trial I signed up to a 30 day free trial, and then tried to cancel, but the page to cancel the subscription was broken. Now they have charged me but I explained that I tried to cancel but couldn't. They are unable to provide a refund and this is really bad practice.

GBNot worth 2 dollars Not worth the money. The quality of the courses are uneven (some just plain terrible -- but some decent). Platform itself is out of date and not user friendly -- not much effort is put into designing a platform that meets the user needs. One can't choose 10 courses in advance or set up a profile with favorites. No app. Website is glitchy. In general it seems it was designed 10 years ago, not updated and they focus all efforts now into locking unsuspecting customers into year-long memberships and no effort whatsoever into providing quality courses or platform services for the actual members.
