Life is expensive. We feel you - we also have bills to pay. Everyone who supports us financially helps us make this product better and the world calmer, kinder, and happier. Per month, a subscription is cheaper than: Self-help books no one reads; Overpriced therapy or coaching; and Punching bags. Basically - it’s the price of a cup of coffee per week!

Is Ahead worth it?
Is Ahead worth it?
Getting better at managing emotions has a huge impact on your life - more than learning any other skill: It allows you to become the person you want to be. To be more connected, successful, and happy. To be a better partner, friend, colleague, and parent. It’s cheaper than therapy (price of a cup of coffee a week) and works better than binging self-help content!

We can learn to better manage our emotions. Why wait until we’re 90 to be in charge of our emotions? When we can learn it in just weeks! The hundreds of thousands of happy, relaxed Ahead users are proof of that. Our approach is all about overcoming our brains’ unhelpful thought patterns - by spotting them early (before it’s too late) and using simple techniques to stop reacting to these thoughts.
