Hi Product Hunt!
I built Counsel for the nights when a choice keeps you up and a search engine doesn't help much.
It does three things:
Read: a big idea from the great books every night, explained in plain words. It starts with the real story, then shows where it lives in your own week. Free.
Ask: say what's on your mind, and mentors from history like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Lincoln each give their view. You leave with one small step, and Counsel checks in on how it went.
Practice: rehearse the talk you dread, like asking for a raise or setting a limit with family. A mentor plays the other person, and a coach steps in with one tip when a line works against you.
Tonight's read, your first practice talk, the one-minute drills and the Journal are free, and a new install can ask one question free. The rest is a subscription.
Counsel saves your questions and journal on your iPhone. Reading sends nothing anywhere.
Which mentor would you ask first? And what feels missing? I read every comment.
