Before you start: what this library is and what it is not
These clarifications exist because several things can be confusing. There are no paid plans, no promised results, and no hidden features. The following precisely defines what you find when you open a guide, a workbook, or a guided breathing audio.
Are the guides and workbooks free?
Yes. All editorial material can be read without paying anything and without leaving any data. There are no subscriptions, access tiers, or later charges. Downloads of templates, checklists, and five-minute guided breathing audios require an email, and that email is used only to send you the file. There are no hidden plans or charges that appear later.
Do I need to sign up to read?
No. The notes on sleep, breathing, urban walks, journaling, and digital breaks are open. Registration does not exist as a site feature: there is no account, no profile, and no reading history. If at any point you see a form, it is only the download or contact form, and nothing else.
What does "seven-day reset guide" mean?
It is a short journey with a simple prompt for each day and space to note how it went. Each day suggests a concrete action and a question to review at the end. It is not a program with mandatory stages or a closed method: if a day is missed, it is picked up again the next day without guilt. The structure is designed for people who work and live in small apartments.
Do they promise improvements in sleep or mood?
No. We do not promise results, timelines, or guaranteed changes. The material gathers observations and practices to organize the day, and each person decides what works for them. There is also no measurement or follow-up: we do not ask for progress data or evaluate your progress. Whatever you write in a notebook stays in your notebook.
Do the breathing audios replace a professional consultation?
No. They are short five-minute audios meant as a pause within the day, not as treatment. If you have a health condition, respiratory or otherwise, consult with your healthcare provider before adding a new practice. The site does not offer diagnosis, therapy, or clinical support.
What happens with the email I leave to download?
It is used to send you the file you requested. We do not build sales lists, we do not share data with third parties, and we do not send communications you did not ask for. If you want to stop receiving something, write to us at team@thequietcompass.com and we will sort it out. There are no automatic confirmations or promises of a response within a set timeframe.
Can I use the material elsewhere?
The guides, workbooks, and templates are for personal use. You can print them, write notes on them, and adapt them to your routine. What is not appropriate is reselling them, publishing them as your own, or using them in paid training sessions without asking us first. If you have questions about a specific use, write to us and we will look at it case by case.
What will you not find on this site?
There are no forums, live comments, user accounts, shopping carts, free trials, or access to dashboards. There are also no promises of results, response timeframes, or features the site does not have. If something is not published, it is because it does not exist. We prefer to say so rather than leave the expectation open.
