1. The thing that makes headspace worth it for me is Andy Puddicome. I'm British and listening to his vaguely northern accent is very calming. It's a fine balance whether you find listening to the same voice every day irritating or helpful.
2. It depends on how stressed you are. I felt an immediate difference in calmness at the end of each headspace session. This was almost immediately worth it for me to spend $70 on. All I need it to do is give me one extra hours work done from being calmer to make it worthwhile.
3. Also there's laziness of having everything setup for you. I wouldn't keep it up if I had to read my own way through and make my own path. Headspace makes it very easy just to follow a guided path but with some choice. A lot of it is using the same techniques in slightly different ways.
Calm's CTO's comment about having new content each day I don't find very important. I know this is a very long term thing (i.e. decades of learning), so I know each section requires a lot of practice and repetition. I'm happy to repeat sections and practice until I get the full benefit.
