Chris experienced burnout so that others don't have to!

He moved up the career ladder and at the age of 29, he became a Head of Department and moved schools to start his ‘dream job’.

Chris thought that if you worked hard to have a successful career, you will find happiness. He was wrong! Once the excitement of a new job settled, he found himself feeling emotionally empty, overwhelmed with life and without meaningful direction. As life stresses increased with new parent responsibilities, work stress turned into anxiety and guilt. 

A thought of suicide as an option to stop his suffering was the wake up call he needed to put his pride aside and go to the doctors. He was signed off from work for 2 months and engaged in some talking therapy. 

Additionally, he made a promise to himself to never feel like this again. With the new goal to ‘feel happy everyday’ he began studying the science of happiness, how to live a fulfilled life and the positive psychology of success.
