Just want to echo other reviews ... (bad ones) ... Just want to echo other reviews: Brutal business model. I was waiting to be sent something, or just anything; never heard, was surprised to have my credit card charged after using zero of their service. My request for a refund was denied.

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.

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.

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.

Here'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
