If a number on this page is wrong or out of date, tell me and I will fix it as soon as I read the message. A wrong number here could cost someone something, which is why this page never asks you to wait for me. Use the numbers above. They are staffed right now.

02What LifeMax is not

LifeMax is a game played with real work: short video chapters, the tools they have you set up, calls with me, and a community of people doing hard, ordinary things and writing down what happened. That is the whole product.

It is not therapy. It is not medical or mental-health treatment. It is not a crisis service. Nobody here is a clinician, including me.

I am one person, and I am asleep for part of your day. Nobody in the community is on call, and nobody should be treated as if they are.

If you have a medical or psychological condition, or you take medication, talk to your doctor before you change how you train, eat, or sleep.

The Journal is not where a crisis goes, and neither is the daily check-in. The chapters have you record things in the club's tools, and nobody is watching what you write there, me included. Writing something there is not the same as telling someone. Low mood most days for two weeks or more: see a GP. Thoughts of harming yourself: one of the numbers at the top of this page, now.

03If you tell me something serious

I will stop coaching. I will take it out of the community, ask you a straight question, and point you to people who are trained for it. Nothing you disclose goes to another member.

The one limit, and you should know it now rather than later: if I believe your life is in immediate danger, I will not stay quiet about it.

If what you need is treatment rather than a system, that is an exit for care. Your subscription ends the same day and the current period is refunded in full. You don’t fill in a form, you don’t owe me an explanation, and I won’t argue. What you logged in the tools stays on your account, and you can export it or erase it in Settings whenever you like. Your photos are already yours, on your phone. Your record here is sent to you if you ask, and your account stays, as a free one, for when you want to come back.

04Your account, in short

Nothing on this page needs an account. For everything else, here are the short answers. The terms have the long ones.

  • A free account costs nothing and takes no card. It holds the Foundation (its video and its XP), the first chapters of HealthMax and FocusMax, Five Honest Numbers, Focus, the daily check-in, my announcements, three LifeMax AI messages a day and one 30-minute call with me, booked from the diary inside. Everything else shows on it, locked, and the community is for LifeMax Club members. Make one here.
  • LifeMax Club is from $9.99 a month: the first 10 accounts pay $9.99, the next 40 $14.99, the next 50 $19.99, and from account 101 it is $42 for good. Your account's number keeps its price while your membership runs. It is all six pillars, unlimited calls with me, the Sunday call and the community. Press Upgrade in your account, on the same account. Cancel any time.
  • When a LifeMax Club membership ends, the account becomes a free one again. You keep it, your XP and your history. The pillars and the community close until you join LifeMax Club again.
  • To delete your account, free or paid, press Delete my account in Settings, on the site or in the iPhone app, or email me from its address and say so. A membership paid on the website is cancelled at the same moment. One bought in the iPhone app is billed by Apple, so cancel it in your Apple account. The privacy notice says what goes.

05Getting hold of me

Email reodannathan@gmail.com. I answer myself, usually within one business day.

That is not a crisis line and it should never be used as one. Use the numbers at the top of this page. They are staffed right now by people trained for exactly this.
