Nir Eyal, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Partners with StashAway to Empower Investors to Build Good Financial Habits

Nir Eyal, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable, and StashAway, a digital wealth platform, have come together to provide investors with powerful, science-backed techniques that help them manage distraction and accomplish their goals.

“One thing I learned in my 10 years of research is that if we are going to have the kind of lives we deserve, we have to learn how to control our habits or our habits will control us. Interestingly, the problem is not that we don't know what to do. It's that all too often we get in our own way. We make sound plans saying we're going to eat right, exercise, be fully present with the people we love, or stay on a budget. But then our impulses get the best of us. We skip a workout, splurge on junk food, blow a budget, or get out of the markets when we're scared.” says Nir Eyal.

Good financial habits enable investors to not only do the right thing but also prevent them from getting distracted and doing the wrong things. By following Nir Eyal’s 4 key strategies, investors can form good financial habits and stay on track towards unlocking financial possibilities. 

“This partnership will provide insights to empower our investors to build good financial habits and get ahead with their goals. We wanted to give our investors  convenient access to good-quality financial education wherever they go. Now, the masterclass can be accessed through StashAway Academy on our app.” says Michele Ferrario.

In the 5-video series, investors will gain insights into the hidden psychology behind common financial mistakes that could derail them from their financial goals. They will also gain insights to 4 key strategies to empower them to not get distracted and get ahead with their life and their goals.
