Questions about the members' console
Plain answers before you decide. If yours is not here, ask it on the welcome page or email [email protected].
What is contented.guide?
It is the members' console for the male.guide network of twenty guides for men. The guides are where you read. The console is where you talk it through, across all of them at once, and keep what you notice.
How is it different from the free guides?
Each free guide looks at one part of a man's life: work, the body, drink, people or purpose. Almost nobody has only one problem. The back is carrying the job; the drinking is carrying the marriage. The console is one conversation across every guide, so those parts can join up.
What does membership include?
A hundred turns of conversation a day across the whole network, instead of ten a day on each guide, and a private record of what you notice, in your own words, so that something you saw in March is still there in September. Nothing in it is a script, a plan or a course. Every conversation starts from what you actually say, so no two are alike.
Is it a subscription? Does it renew?
No. Membership is a single payment for a year of access. It does not renew, and when the year ends access stops. You come back only if a new challenge arrives. The join page shows the price.
What happens to what I write?
It is kept for you in your console. You can export it or delete it whenever you like. The privacy policy sets out how it is handled.
Is it a therapist or a coach?
No. The console speaks in my words through SI (super intelligence). It is not me typing live, and it is not a doctor, therapist, coach, adviser or emergency service. It will not diagnose you or tell you what to do. It will listen to what you actually say and help you think it through.
What if it turns out not to be for me?
Email [email protected] within 14 days of paying and you will get a full refund. No questions.
Why is it built to become unnecessary?
Because the aim is that you stop needing it. Over a year, the guardrails you set for yourself become habits you no longer have to think about. If the console has done its job, you will not need to renew, and it does not ask you to.
Can I try it before I decide?
Yes. Every guide is free to read, and each gives you ten free conversations a day. On the welcome page you can also ask how the console would work in your own situation before you decide. If it does not sound right for you, it will say so.
Who is behind it?
I am James Roberts. I spent nearly twenty years recruiting in travel and hospitality, I have been sober since June 2020, and I live in Tenerife. contented.guide is operated by Dry Holidays SL in Spain.
Is there advertising?
No. There is no advertising anywhere in the network, and the guides will not sell you anything.
What if I am in danger right now?
Do not wait for anything here. Contact your local emergency services, or use the safety page, which lists where to go. contented.guide is not a crisis service.
