We know how difficult it is to curb your shopping. We've experienced it ourselves! But recent research in Consumer Psychology suggests there are a multitude of reasons for shoppers to think again before buying. For starters, our well-being and the ecological environment are both negatively affected by overconsumption.

As researchers, we are curious to figure out how we can help society through the use of Psychological Science. How can we help consumers consume less?

The intervention takes one week to complete. We just ask you a few questions every day, add in our secret scientific sauce, and see how you did after 7 days!

It takes 10-15 minutes to join, and no more than 5 minutes a day during the one-week intervention program.

It's super easy to join, you just download a free app that will guide you through the intervention.

What do you say? Give it a try!
